Desperately Seeking Alternatives to Arrogance

Yale University has issued a report acknowledging a huge faculty tilt to the left and pledging a self-study on diversity of perspectives in the curriculum. The report was produced by a committee of ten professors. A 2025 survey found that nearly a third of undergraduate respondents disagreed with the statement that 'I feel free to express my political beliefs on campus.' Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 36 to 1 across the Faculty of Arts Sciences, the Law School, and the School of Management. The report also examined grade inflation, finding that in 2022-23, 79% of grades were an A or A-, and the median student receives an A. Faculty face pressures when promotion depends on student enrollments and evaluations, contributing to grade inflation. The self-study is set to begin this fall.
