Majority of Academics Support Discriminating Against Conservatives, Study Shows

One in three conservative academics has been threatened with disciplinary action for expressing their beliefs, according to a new study that quantifies academia's liberal bias.

Research from the Center for the Study of Partnership and Ideology released Monday shows that conservative professors and graduate students are "Guaranteed" to face discrimination in academia.

University of London politics professor Eric Kaufmann conducted the study, which he says is the first to focus on how academic authoritarianism threatens conservatives on campus.

Kaufmann analyzed eight surveys of graduate-level professors and doctoral students, the majority of whom said they would not oppose discriminating against their right-leaning peers in some form.

Ten percent of academics support outright cancelling or firing conservative professors who express their views.

Seventy percent of conservative academics reported that their department created a hostile environment for conservative ideas, according to the study.

More than half of conservative academics surveyed admitted to self-censoring their research and teaching.
