AFPI Says Liberal Faculty Outnumber Conservatives Nearly 7-to-1 on U.S. Campuses

Nearly 7 liberal faculty members now correspond to every 1 conservative nationwide, AFPI said, up from less than 2-to-1 in 1969.
40% of surveyed faculty said they would oppose hiring a Trump supporter, while more than 80% of Ph.D. students said they would discriminate against a conservative job candidate.
More than half of conservative professors say they hide their views to keep their jobs, and AFPI argues the imbalance is eroding academic freedom and distorting hiring.
The report aligns with the Trump administration’s broader higher-education push, including $60 million in FY2025 FIPSE grants for campus civil-discourse programs.
