From the Harvard Crimson April 9, 2021:
"It is no surprise that Harvard’s faculty skews heavily toward the left side of the political aisle. Out of 236 members of the FAS who responded to a question on political leanings in The Crimson’s 2021 Faculty Survey, just seven — 3 percent — identified as “somewhat” or “very conservative,” compared to 183 who identified as “somewhat” or “very liberal.”
Political donations by FAS members show a similar leftward bent. Contributions by FAS faculty to Democrats recorded in the publicly available Federal Election Commission filings for 2017-2020 totaled $744,143, while donations to Republican campaigns and candidates amounted to just $3,010, less than the $5,600 that FAS faculty contributed to independent candidates."
To sat that this school is 'left of center' is a massive understatement and it's hard to believe it doesn't permeate everyday life.
And…. Who cares? Can’t your kid think for themselves? They are adults at that point in college. Who cares what the faculty does/thinks ! If you have raised an aware kid, they will be able to have their own thoughts on things, regardless of the faculties political views. Sounds like you don’t want your kid to hear or be around people from the other side of the aisle? That’s not healthy and it’s pigheaded. Very MTG of you! At this point, if your kid can get into any school, they should go just to get away from you and think for themselves.
