Colleges Score Perfect Grade In Liberal Bias

Timothy Furnish teaches Middle East history at Georgia Perimeter College in suburban Atlanta. When he went for an on-campus interview at a large state university, he experienced first-hand what empirical evidence shows: professors are very reluctant to hire conservative candidates.

But they're not normally so open to expressing the reasons for frowning on a candidate as they were in Tim's case: one committee member told him that he "appeared to be more conservative than others in my field."

Worse, he was told: "You sounded like Daniel Pipes!"
