COLLEGE PRESIDENTS

Not quite as politically skewed as the faculties they run:

College presidents are about twice as likely to be registered Democrats as they are to be registered Republicans or independents, and twice as many of them voted last year for John F. Kerry as for George W. Bush for president, according to The Chronicle’s survey of presidents of four-year institutions. Of the survey’s respondents, 41 percent said they were registered Democrats, 22 percent said they were independent, and 19 percent said they were Republican.

Larry Summers isn’t the only one slightly to the right of his professors.
