So it's not that Americans are questioning a higher education system that many see as disconnected from their values. That's how the New York Times lies nonstop. It's that we'll see. There are no conservatives at the universities, right? And so I can tell you some of the stats here. We might as well do a little bit of that now. Okay, are we ready?

Based on available data from surveys conducted by the Harvard Crimson student newspaper, the political leanings of Harvard's faculty, particularly within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, so that's a pretty central part of the university, show a strong skew. Let's find out what a strong skew means. 2023.

2.5% of surveyed faculty identified as conservative and 0.4% as very conservative, totaling about 2.9% conservative-leaning faculty. Over 77% identified as liberal or very liberal, with 20% as moderate. Let's think about that again. 20% are moderate. Okay, 80% of Americans are moderate. That's a good way of thinking about it. 80% of Americans pretty much agree on everything.

Okay, that means 20% of the Harvard faculty are kind of like 80% of Americans. Whereas 77% of them, the ones who identified as liberal or very liberal, are like 10% of the American population. And then with regards to the conservatives, there's none of them. There's none. So that means if you're a centrist at Harvard or the other Ivy Leagues or most universities, then you're a Nazi.

So 2022 survey, 1% of respondents identified as conservative, with no respondents identified as very conservative. 80% were liberal or very liberal. 21, pretty much the same thing. These surveys consistently show that conservative faculty members make up a small minority, ranging from one to 3%. Okay, so let's think about that for a minute and then decide whether,

This is Trump against Harvard or whether it's the universities against everyone. right? One to three percent are conservative. Fifty percent of Americans voted conservative in the last election. Okay, so that's, you can do the math yourself, right? It's 25 to one or 50 to one, something like that.

So this isn't some opinion that the universities have become radically left in a way that is really quite novel now. There were conservative people, or at least classically liberal people, everywhere at Harvard when I was there in the 1990s. It wasn't a politically radical place.

There were departments like English that were infected, so to speak, with the postmodern bug, and that were radically liberal, but they were fringe, and now they're not. And then let's talk about the administration. There's no direct survey data on the political leadings of Harvard's administration. There's more administration than faculty, by the way. Conservative faculty members at Harvard
