Story summary

A new study reveals that 100% of political contributions made by Princeton University faculty during the 2023-2024 election cycle were given exclusively to Democrats, with not a single contribution going to Republicans. The study, conducted by PFS (Princeton Faculty Survey), analyzed all required donations reported to the Federal Election Commission and found that 98% of these contributions went solely to Democrats, while the remaining 2% supported independent candidates or groups. Edward Yingling, co-founder and chairman of PFS, stated this demonstrates a "glaring lack of viewpoint diversity" among Princeton’s faculty, an issue he believes Princeton leadership can no longer ignore. The findings mirror similar political donation trends at other top universities like Harvard and Yale, where over 80% of the faculty identify as liberal or very liberal.
