Report Finds Hardly Any Ivy League Trustees Are Republican
“The report also found a comparable discrepancy among political donations.”
This is hardly a surprise, and yet it explains so much.
FOX News reports:
Just 1 in 10 Ivy League trustees are Republican; Yale has none, report finds
Only about one in 10 Ivy League trustees identifies as Republican, while Yale has no Republican trustees at all, according to a new report fueling debate over ideological diversity at the nation’s most elite universities.
“Yale is a leader in many things, but ideological homogeneity shouldn’t be one of them,” Lauren Noble, Buckley Institute founder and executive director, said in a statement.
“Looking at the dramatic ideological imbalance across Ivy League governing bodies, it’s little surprise that so much has gone awry on campus,” Noble continued. “If America’s top universities truly want to fix the echo chamber in the classroom, they will need to address the echo chamber among their own leadership.”
The report, “The Echo Chamber on Top: Governance in the Ivy League,” found that Democrats outnumber Republicans 6 to 1 among Ivy League trustees.
The report said that, of the 233 total Ivy League trustees identified, 155, or 67%, were registered Democrats; 52, or 22%, were unaffiliated; and 26, amounting to 11%, were Republicans.
In total, the report said, it found a 6-to-1 ratio of Democrats to Republicans on Ivy League trustee boards and highlighted that Yale’s sole governing body, the Yale Corporation, had zero registered Republicans in its membership.
The report also found a comparable discrepancy among political donations.
“Though a small number of individuals accounted for the bulk of political donations on several boards, total political giving to Democrats outnumbered political giving to Republicans at a 4-to-1 rate,” the Buckley Institute said in a press release on the report.
“In total, Ivy League trustees gave $85.5 million to Democratic causes and campaigns and only $22.4 million to Republican causes and campaigns.”
In this area as well, the report found that Yale trustees gave $5.8 million to Democrats and a little more than $102,000 to Republicans, highlighting it as a 50-to-1 ratio.

Comments
Republican trustees reminds me of Samuel Johnson’s remark about woman preachers: it is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.
The way the revolutionary, progressive, creative, diverse, open minded, intellectual Left gatekeeps the same institutional norms passed down for generations and looks down on anyone who questions their world view…
Ugh why even bother
If you wouldn’t donate your money to these parasites, why would you donate your time?
