Summary
A new study reveals a glaring political imbalance among university faculty, with West Coast and Ivy League schools like UC Berkeley and Columbia ranking worst for diversity — while Southern institutions show more balance.

The timing is critical: as the Justice Department intensifies scrutiny over antisemitism on campuses, schools flagged for political homogeneity are also under federal investigation — including Columbia, which lost federal grants in 2025, and Brown, which agreed to reforms to regain funding. With the Civil Rights Assistant Attorney General pledging stronger protections for Jewish Americans, campus accountability is now front and center.
