Hi Interesting article. One thing I did not see mentioned was different types of courses that might differentiate Rep and Dem faculty. For example, if Rep profs tend to be more in quantitative fields and Dem profs in "touchy-feely" fields, distributions of grades could differ by area in the way depicted here (i.e., more higher and lower grades in classes of Rep profs).

The primary source is evidently not freely available on the internet unless your library subscribes to the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics.
