At UNC Chapel Hill, 16 departments have zero registered Republican professors, analysis finds

At UNC Chapel Hill, 16 departments have zero registered Republican professors, analysis finds - The College Fix:
"Professors registered as Democrats outnumber those registered as Republicans by a ratio of roughly 12 to one at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill – and in 15 departments zero registered Republican professors can be found – according to educators’ registered party affiliations.
The College Fix researched the political party registrations of 1,355 UNC Chapel Hill professors using the state’s online public voter database, maintained by the State Board of Elections.
Of those, 615 were registered Democrats, while only 50 were registered Republicans, a ratio of about 12 to one.
The remaining party affiliations included 299 professor who are unaffiliated (in North Carolina, voters can register as unaffiliated), 291 professors whose names could not be found the database, and 98 professors’ whose party affiliations could not be determined. Two professors are registered libertarians.
Even with the high number of professor party affiliations that could not be determined, the results found Democrat professors outnumber Republican ones in every single department surveyed, and what’s more, nearly half of the 34 departments probed found no registered Republicans at all.
Those 16 departments are:

  • African-American Studies
  • American Studies
  • Anthropology
  • Art
  • Asian Studies
  • Biology
  • Classics
  • Communications
  • Environmental Science
  • Genetics
