That is one way of looking at the situation.
Another would be to look at the academic merits of of the socially conservative professors who aren't doing as well as their more liberal counterparts.
The Enterprise Institute isn't really competent to do that kind of study, and in any event its conclusions probably wouldn't suit the people who fund the Enterprise Institute.
It is noticeable that physically conservative professors who still believe in phlogiston and the ether are also under-represented in university faculties, but since their invalid theories aren't useful for transferring money from the poor to the rich the Enterprise Institute hasn't any interest in demonstating that universities go in for "physically correct" groupthink in staffing their physics and chemistry departments.
Economics is different. Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine" ISBN
978-1-846-14028-0 has some interesting things to say about the "politically incorrect" Chicago School monetarist economists whose major claim to influence is that their advice - while disasterous for an economy as a whole - produces results that make money for the very rich, at the expense of everybody else.-- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen
Oh man, I'm reading that too! I can't finish it from the bad taste it leaves in my mouth.
So, a7yvm109gf5d1, you are a peasant like Slowman ?:-)

Great, another herd response from the freep-bot...

So you think the "Chicago School monetarist economists" are wrong? How have they damaged YOUR economy other than to knock down the pricing of peasants ?:-)

There are news groups for political discussions. This has nothing to do with electronics.

Neither do you. Why are you posting here ?:-)

I am a regular lurker on this news group. My primary interest is in seeing what sort of questions that people have about electronics. I have gotten tired of the various political postings. You seem to be a major source of this stuff. My suggestion is that you want to have a political discussion then go to a political news group.
So why are you doing political postings on news groups that are supposed to be electronics oriented?

Because I am the Guru Grande of All Things Electronic. Between questions from the paisanos I post political injections... someone has to set the world straight ;-)

what
the
Winfield Hill wrote the textbook, and Don Lancaster wrote the popular electronics book - this leaves Jim somewhere short of guru grande, even around here. Jim has designed some interesting circuits, but nobody who knows what they are about buys them any more - Barry Gilbert's stuff works better and is easier to use.
Once Jim gets away from electronics, he's just another ill-informed right-wing tax dodger. His enthusiasm for the Republican Party is a little pathetic, because he's not rich enough to get any appreciable advantage out of their screw-the-poor economic policy. He does pay less taxes than he would under a more equitable regime, but he'd still do better in the long run under a more equitable regime because a well paid, well fed, healthy and well-educated working class gives you a more productive economy.

I think its on one of the robotics newsgroups. Or perhaps its just a similar rant. All of the "liberal educators are out to get the conservative" arguments look so similar its getting hard to tell them apart.
