Where 'Diversity' means 'Anyone But a Conservative'

Why are conservatives such a minority at so many graduate schools? John Tierney answers:

If you were a conservative undergraduate, would you risk spending at least four years in graduate school in the hope of getting a job offer from a committee dominated by people who don’t share your views? You might well select another career for yourself.
