Jerry- you have committed the cardinal sin of the Attic. You created a post that criticizes corporate America and is sympathetic to immigrants. The Wingers don't know the difference between their old paper routes and child labor in a meat packing plant. They have turned this thread into a rant against higher education rather than discuss the real issue that you presented. Many undocumented immigrants are basically being used as slaves in our workforce. For all the wingers ranting and raving about immigration, I have a solution. Simply arrest the owners of businesses who hire undocumented immigrants. Why isn't this simple solution even being discussed? Everyone knows that our economy and lifestyle would collapse without this supply of cheap labor and our modern form of slavery.

In 1989-1990, when HERI first fielded this survey, 42% of faculty identified as being on the left, 40% were moderate, and another 18% were on the right. This is not a normal curve – it is a clear lean to the left. Almost three decades later in 2016-2017, Higher Education Research Institute found that 60% of the faculty identified as either far left or liberal compared to just 12% being conservative.

In the fall of 1989, 26% of Americans were on the liberal side of the spectrum, 42% were moderate, and the remaining 29% described themselves as conservative. Three decades later, the numbers do not look all that different. Thirty one percent of Americans state that they are conservative or very conservative, 43% are moderate, and the 24% are liberal or very liberal.

When it comes to college and university administrators, whose ranks have grown dramatically over the past two decades, there is unfortunately not much research to draw on. The best picture we have comes from a 2017 survey of a nationally representative sample of roughly 900 “student-facing” administrators. He found that liberal staff members outnumber their conservative counterparts by the astonishing ratio of 12:1. Only 6% of campus administrators identified as conservative to some degree, while 71% classified themselves as liberal or very liberal.

The New York Times wrote in 2016, “It appears that a fairly liberal student body is being taught by a very liberal professoriate — and socialized by an incredibly liberal group of administrators.” Taken together the data clearly illustrates that liberals are overrepresented in the faculty and the administrators.

Sorry. Doesn't work.

Your desire seems to be to accept results that favor your outlook. Numbers are just numbers. One can skew them all over the Cosmos to their liking. But it does not address the issue.

One has to have a very liberal mind to appreciate new concepts. That is the learning process. As for the "conservative" mind, it means "not to *jump* to conclusions".

It may surprise you that "liberal" and "conservative" are relative terms. And they are used to mean all sort of things across the spectrum.

There is a difference between "conservative" and "constipated".

Our discourse is at its end.

People who are university administrators or teach college classes are some of the smartest people in our country. That is why they tend to be liberal.


Well, what an ignorant statement. Very presumptuous.

In the DOL lawsuit

“””According to the lawsuit, most of the children who worked at the three companies could not speak English fluently and had to be interviewed in Spanish, but it was unclear if they were immigrants. According to a Labor Department official, the department did not check the children's immigration status.[3]

Is that the same Blackstone that is investing client's monies into ESG compliant concerns, foregoing potential shareholder returns? Just goes to show you Jerry just how corrupt "Woke" capitalism is.

How about a company who centers its efforts on ESG and DEI, if you need to know what that looks like look no further than Biden's feckless Cabinet.

ESG = Environmental, Social and Governance = what?

DEI = Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion =what?

Google = what?

You only pointed. You (!) did not define anything.

WOKE = what?

I don't play that game.

Forget MR BS.





Just to ad a few more letters; PISTA and CHIOS!

SVB? The failure due to bad bank practice? Repeating what the banks did ten years ago? What?
