Shocker: J-Schools Not Ideologically Diverse

University of Oregon grad student Dan Lawton has a good article on his personal blog about the lack of ideological diversity in journalism schools and the potential problems that causes. The article is part of an ongoing project by Lawton on diversity in higher education. I’ve been interviewed for it a couple of times, and there will be a short documentary forthcoming. All in all, it promises to be very interesting.

Using his public records kung fu, Lawton discovers that, of the thirty two full-time faculty in the UO journalism school, none are registered Republicans. Even adding in adjunct faculty, there are only two Republicans.
