Note: Part of this is also cross-posted as part of a comment at Greg Mankiw’s Blog.

Volokh Conspiracy has a great series of fresh analytical posts on the latest numbers (referenced by someone in an earlier comment) defining the liberal-conservative-libertarian divide.

My favorite parts:

A Title:

IDEOLOGY AND ACADEMIA – LIBERAL DOMINANCE ONLY IN THOSE FIELDS WHERE IT MATTERS

And an ‘Update’:

“Among actual scientists, in the physical and biological sciences, the percentage who identify themselves as Marxists is zero.””

Loved the ‘actual’ reference.

What shall we do M’Lord?
As to the defenses that liberal academics have erected to conservatism on campus. I’m still not too worried about it.
