Welcome to the
Voter Registration Study Homepage 

The following Cardiff and Klein article appearing in Critical Reivew is the latest on voter-registration investigations of faculty partisanship. (It pretty much subsumes the Klein and Western study of Berkeley and Stanford.) 

Christopher F. Cardiff and Daniel B. Klein:

Faculty Partisan Affiliation in All Disciplines: A Voter-Registration Study
Critical Review: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Politics and Society, Vol 17, Nos. 3-4, (dated 2005, though actually appeared June 2006). Erratum: In the printed version (Table 6, 252), Asst and Assoc Prof D:R ratios were transposed in the case of Berkeley and Stanford. That is, the D:R for Assoc at Berkeley should be 64.0, not 30.0, and likewise for Stanford. The correction is made in the linked Excel sheet below.

Abstract of Cardiff and Klein: The party registration of tenure-track faculty at 11 California universities, ranging from small, private, religious-affiliated institutions to large, public, elite schools, shows that the “one-party campus” conjecture does not extend to all institutions or all departments.  At one end of the scale, U.C. Berkeley has an adjusted Democrat:Republican ratio of almost 9.1, while Pepperdine University has a ratio of nearly 1:1.  Academic discipline also makes a tremendous difference, with the humanities averaging a 10:1 D:R ratio and business schools averaging 1.3:1, and with departments ranging from sociology (44:1) to management (1.5:1).  Across all departments and institutions, the D:R ratio is 5:1, while, in the “soft” liberal-arts fields, the ratio is higher than 8:1.  These results are generally in line with previous studies.

In the same issue, Critical Review published the latest, greatest article on the Klein-Stern policy-views/voting survey of six scholarly disciplines. It is here.

Here is material on Klein-Western, which, again, really is superceded by Cardiff-Klein:

Abstract:  Using the records of the seven San Francisco Bay Area counties that surround University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University, we conducted a systematic and thorough study of the party registration of the Berkeley and Stanford faculty in 23 academic departments.  The departments span the social sciences, humanities, hard sciences, math, law, journalism, engineering, medicine, and the business school.  Of the total of 1497 individual names on the cumulative list, we obtained readings on 1005, or 67 percent.  The findings support the “one-party campus” conjecture.  For Stanford, we found an overall Democrat to Republican ratio of 7.6 to 1.  For UC-Berkeley, we found an overall D to R ratio of 9.9 to 1.  Moreover, the breakdown by faculty rank shows that Republicans are an “endangered species” on the two campuses.  This article contains a link to the complete data (with individual identities redacted).
