ANALYSIS: Democrat professors outnumber Republican colleagues 28 to 1 in Pennsylvania political science departments

Professors registered as Democrats outnumber colleagues registered as Republicans by a 28 to one ratio in political science departments across six Pennsylvania universities, a College Fix analysis found.

The analysis reviewed the political science departments at the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pittsburgh, West Chester University, and Penn State University.

At four of the six — University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon, Temple, and West Chester — zero registered Republican professors could be found. At Penn State, one was identified. At the University of Pittsburgh, two were found.

The Fix identified the affiliation of 101 professors after reviewing 147 professors in political science departments at some of Pennsylvania’s largest universities. The Fix based its analysis on voter registration data from the counties in which the universities are located.

The breakdown was 84 Democrats, three Republicans, and 14 third-party or unaffiliated, including one socialist. The rest, 46, could not be found in the voter rolls.

By percentages, 3 percent of identified professors are registered Republicans, and 83 percent are registered Democrats.

The analysis only includes professors, not adjuncts, lecturers, emeriti, or non-teaching staff.
