Posted by David Kopel: Departmental Breakdown of Politcal Correctness at CU:
Last week, I [1]blogged on the infamous petition of 199 University of Colorado professors who demanded the termination of the Regents' investigation of Ward Churchill--notwithstanding extensive evidence of academic fraud by Churchill, and of Churchill's active promotion of domestic terrorism, in violation of his legally-required oath to uphold the Constitutions of the United States and of Colorado. The fine Denver weblog "View from a Height" has [2]posted the full text of the petition, and a list of the signers. Our Independence Institute interns looked up the affiliations of the various signers. Below is a Department-level breakout of the signers. These figures are approximate, in part because some professors have cross-departmental appointments. Even so, the figures give a rough guide to the areas of the school where Churchill's support is strongest. Of course some departments are much larger than other departments, and these are raw figures, not "rates" for departments. In some cases, related departments or units are grouped together. English/Writing: 30 signers. Communication: 2. French & Italian: 9. German: 2. Linguistics: 1. East Asian languages: 5. Spanish/Portuguese: 1. Biology/Physiology/Ecology: 16. Chemistry: 4. Geology: 2. Psychology: 3. Speech/hearing: 3. Theatre: 5. Film: 4. History: 9. Art/Art History: 6. Classics: 2. Geography: 5. Anthropology: 3. Philosophy: 5. Religious Studies: 1. Political Science: 2. Sociology: 4. Education: 15. Economics: 1. Business: 1. Law: zero!
