Zero Republicans across 30 Yale departments tells you everything they don’t want to admit. That isn’t diversity, it’s ideological sorting dressed up as virtue. Half the country thinks one way and the academy pretends those people don’t exist. When a place claims moral authority but can’t tolerate dissent, it stops being education and starts being insulation.

In his 1951 book “God and Man at Yale,” William F. Buckley, Jr. describes the hypocrisy and partisanship he found at Yale University, even as administrators and professors preached a message of political compromise and freedom of thought.
Nearly 75 years after the book’s publication, Yale University continues to display a one-sided ideological preference toward Democrats, as a new Buckley Institute report revealed that a whopping 27 departments at Yale University appear to employ zero Republican professors.
Out of the 1,335 faculty members reviewed, only 30 were identified as Republican, while 1,099 were identified as Democrats, revealing a stark imbalance in political affiliation among the Ivy League institution’s educators.
“Yale remains an ideologically monolithic campus with an intellectual orthodoxy that makes expressing even mainstream alternative viewpoints challenging,” Lauren Noble, Buckley Institute founder and executive director, told The College Fix.
