Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : "Professors vs non-professor employeesYale employees who are not professors were more likely than their professorial counterparts to donate to Republican-affiliated organizations or Independent PACs.
49% : Among non-professor employees, 31 donations were made to WinRed.
47% : Many of these contributions came from non-professor employees at the Yale School of Medicine, who donated to health professional PACs, like the American College of OB-GYNS PAC.
47% : Political diversity in the classroomWhen asked if diversity of political thought is a hiring consideration for Yale faculty, FAS Dean Tamar Gendler did not directly address the question, writing only that the FAS looks for scholars who are distinguished in their field and whose published work "extends the horizons" of their disciplines.
44% : "I believe that the election of Trump would endanger the very democratic system that may allow him to be elected," Jeffrey Alexander, a professor of sociology who donated $2,500 to the Democratic National Committee last year, wrote.
25% : "Trump is suspicious of cosmopolitanism and independent critical discussion and debate," he said.
