New Paper Confirms Just How Rigged Higher Education Is Against The Right
A devastating new policy report provides data on how conservatives are sidelined in western academia. Now, conservatives have to decide what to do about it.
The policy paper from Policy Exchange, a London-based think-tank, highlights the major trends in British higher-ed and has implications for similar problems in the United States. The report indicates that, compared to the 1960s when the British higher-ed system was divided between around 35 percent supporting Conservative causes and around 50 percent supporting the Labour Party, academia currently is almost wholly skewed to the left.
Conservative professoriate numbers are often in single digits. In the United States, also, several studies have found results similar to those of a 2018 survey, which found ten times as many Democrat-affiliated professors than Republican-affiliated at the top 60-ranked campuses. Worse, the U.K. paper finds, is that “soft totalitarianism” has increased, ranging from academic bullying and campaigns against scholars with unconventional views, to even outright seclusion in certain fields and disciplines.
About only half of academics would feel comfortable sitting next to someone who supported Britain’s right to leave the European Union, for example. Just 37 percent say they would feel comfortable being around someone critical of gender and trans-rights. One-third of academics would not hire a “Vote-Leave” supporter of Brexit.
The report also finds that active discrimination against conservatives happens in hiring, background checks, grant and scholarship applications, and committee memberships. Needless to mention, this is ideological discrimination in its purest form.

Inside Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new $14M California home
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have bought a stunning, multimillion-dollar estate in Montecito, Calif. — complete with nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, Page Six can reveal.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex paid $14,650,000 for the 18,000-square-foot home, which features rose gardens, century-old olive trees, a tennis court, a tea house, children’s cottage and a pool.
It also comes complete with a two-bed guest house, perfect for Markle’s mom, Doria.
After the couple took legal action against photographers for breaching their privacy at their LA rental home, there’s no way that anyone is getting into their new pad, which is gated and secure.
“Meghan and Harry finally feel like they are on their own, and it feels great. They bought this house without help from his family, they aren’t using it on loan from a friend as they had before. It’s truly theirs and they can’t wait to make it a home.”
They moved to Santa Barbara last month after spending lockdown in Tyler Perry’s $17 million Beverly Hills mansion.
A source told us: “Meghan and Harry were totally blown away by Tyler’s generosity.
“They are so excited to truly begin their life together in California, but they’ll never forget the kindness that he showed them.”
Their new upscale California community is also home to their friends Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres.
Amid much speculation that the couple would buy a place in Los Angeles, another source said this week: “Harry and Meghan have been quietly living in their own home in Santa Barbara since early July.
“They are not houseguests of Oprah or anyone else, they bought this home themselves. This is where they want to continue their lives after leaving the UK.
“This is the first home either of them has ever owned. It has been a very special time for them as a couple and as a family — to have complete privacy for six weeks since they moved in,” the source continued.
“They intend to put down their roots in this house and the quiet community, which has considerable privacy. This is where they want to bring Archie up, where they hope he can have as normal a life as possible.”
The source added, “Harry and Meghan never intended to make Los Angeles their home. It was a good place for them to be upon their arrival in the US to be close to Meghan’s mom [who lives in LA].”
