Connections: Exploring the lack of ideological diversity on college campuses

Where's the ideological diversity on college campuses? As reported in Reason and elsewhere, some campuses see more than 95% of their professors (who donate) give to Democrats. Conservative professors and students might feel stifled or outcast.

Our guests discuss whether campuses should strive to have more ideological diversity, and whether progressive thought is a more natural path for academics.

  • Stephen Brauer, associate professor of English at St. John Fisher College
  • Chris Hodgman, sophomore at the University of Rochester and member of the College Republicans
