Yale University has finally achieved the academic version of Nirvana, a state of perfect peace and enlightenment. A recent study found that the faculty had finally purged every Republican donor from its ranks. While 98 percent of the political donations went to Democrats, not a single professor could be found who gave to a single Republican candidate. The complete lock for Democrats is in a country that is split evenly between Republicans and Democrats.
The Yale Daily News reviewed more than 7,000 Federal Election Commission filings from 2025 listing Yale as the employer: “Of 1,099 filings that included ‘professor’ in their occupation, 97.6 percent of the donations went to Democrats, while the remaining 2.4 percent went to independent candidates or groups,” the student newspaper reported Jan. 14.”
The study reinforces the recent Buckley Institute report, which found that, of the 43 departments surveyed, 27 entire departments contained zero Republican professors.
Even if the study missed a couple of donations, the radical imbalance is a reflection of the lack of diversity at the school. It is not a perfect point of comparison. There can be a conservative or libertarian faculty member who does not make donations and does not register with any party.
Moreover, those of us who have criticized the lack of diversity have not argued for partisan criteria in faculty appointments. Rather, these are metrics that help show the lack of diversity. Many scholars prefer to dismiss these criticisms as speculative or unproven. However, the problem has long been obvious and these studies reinforce what critics have said for years.

The overlords of the left have even given up on the token controlled resistance rouse. I have to say I admire their honesty here.
All Federal Grants and scholarships, loans etc should be stopped until there is balance in the faculty.
What republican would give to them. So what? Let them wallow in their own liberal crap. Don’t hire their graduates.
There might be some hidden Republican over there.
But if he is, he is so scared to ever donate or even register as Rep.
The commies would swiftly punish him!
How islamic of them.
Stanford.
Andy Grove is rolling over in his grave.
At least Stanford still houses the Claremont Institute, where some of its Fellows are Thomas Sowell, Victor Davis Hanson, and Condoleezza Rice.
Think of poor Benjamin Franklin. He founded the University of Pennsylvania, even before the U.S. or her Constitution.
I’m an Independent!
And where is MIT on this list—I’m SB MIT and PhD Harvard.
The very Republican Taft family had a deep relationship with Yale. For example:

However, more recently it was the clintons who were the most famous Yalie politicians!
That seems as good a solution as any available. If I were picked as a future employer(& I won’t be) I sure wouldn’t hire one of them.
