Professors registered as Democrats outnumber those registered as Republicans by a ratio of roughly 12 to one at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill – and in 15 departments zero registered Republican professors can be found – according to educators’ registered party affiliations.Is there a "disparate impact" law suit waiting to happen? UNC Chapel Hill appears to be a patronage operation for the Democrat party at first and second glance.
The College Fix researched the political party registrations of 1,355 UNC Chapel Hill professors using the state’s online public voter database, maintained by the State Board of Elections.
Of those, 615 were registered Democrats, while only 50 were registered Republicans, a ratio of about 12 to one.
The remaining party affiliations included 299 professor who are unaffiliated (in North Carolina, voters can register as unaffiliated), 291 professors whose names could not be found the database, and 98 professors’ whose party affiliations could not be determined. Two professors are registered libertarians.
