The article discusses the underrepresentation of conservatives in higher education, suggesting that it may stem from personal career choices rather than outright exclusion. While some attribute this disparity to systemic bias, the author argues that many well-educated conservatives pursue lucrative careers outside academia. It is posited that this trend reflects personal preferences, where the financial advantages in sectors like finance or medicine outweigh the academic rewards of teaching and research. Moreover, it hints at an intellectual curiosity regarding the motivations of educational faculty demographics.
Conservatives might avoid academia due to greater interest in lucrative private sector careers, not necessarily because of exclusion or oppression.
The predominance of liberals in higher education isn’t merely a product of injustice; it also aligns with conservative choices that favor higher-paying fields.
