REPORT: 98% of Yale Faculty Donations Were Sent To Democrats

According to research about Yale University faculty’s political donations, 98% of Yale faculty members’ political donations went to Democrat groups in 2023.

This research was conducted by the Yale Daily News student newspaper. Among faculty and staff, roughly 93% of political donations were sent to Democrats, per this analysis.

The leading recipient of donations was the Biden Victory Fund at roughly $25,000, with the Democratic National Committee coming in second place at approximately $23,000, per the report. Other prominent recipients of donations were politicians such as Chris Murphy, Nancy Pelosi, Cory Booker, and the pro-abortion organizations Emily’s List.

The last time more than 10 percent of total faculty contributions went to Republicans was over 20 years ago, in 2002.

A spokesman for the National Association of Scholars, a group dedicated to promoting ideological diversity in liberal arts education, said to The College Fix in email correspondence that the findings are indicative of Yale sorely lacking in viewpoint diversity.

“And with such a lack the general public will become suspicious of the research and purpose of these institutions. This is because those conducting the research and giving expert advice all come from one political persuasion,” NAS Director of Communications Chance Layton stated.

Universities like Yale effectively function as think tanks for modern-day liberals and cultural leftists. At these institutions, ideological diversity is sharply suppressed. 

Conservatives would not only be wise to hide their power levels while studying or working at these institutions, it would also behoove them to start forming parallel educational institutions in order to break the left’s monopoly on education.
