Conservative Professors

There are more of them than we knew; but many of them are in lesser colleges:

(1) There is a much higher percentage of conservatives teaching at (relatively low-paying, low prestige) community colleges than elsewhere. So much for the oft-heard theory that conservatives are so scarce at elite schools because they are selfish, ambitious, money-grubbers who lack the inclination to give up the "good life" to pursue the "life of the mind."

(2) Contrary to the stereotype of the conservative business school professor, professors of business voted 2-1 for John Kerry in '04.

A lot of sane conservatives voted for Kerry in 2004, of course. Because Kerry was more conservative on many issues than his radical, spendthrift opponent.
