WIthout going through this line by line -
Democrat does not = left wing nor does it = liberal; by the standards
of most people outside the US there is little difference between the
Republican and Democrat Parties, and they are both Right of Centre.
Further down Will makes the statement :
Some findings about professors registered with the two major
parties or with liberal or conservative minor parties:

Cornell: 166 liberals, 6 conservatives.

Stanford: 151 liberals, 17 conservatives.

Colorado: 116 liberals, 5 conservatives.

UCLA: 141 liberals, 9 conservatives.

I wasn't aware that people registered as Liberal or Conservative....

I have pointed out that universities are the home of gun control. And
if
you want to defeat gun control, you have to fight in at the root which
is
the universities. Many of you, especially the libertarians, questioned
the
fact that universities were leftist oriented. The release of a study
that
shows how skewed to the left most American universities are should open
your
eyes.

Back in '67/'68, when George Will was teaching political science at Michigan
State, he taught a course called "The Isms" (Poli Sci 170). It was
communism, socialism, fascism, and capitalism -- a 100-level survey course.

Anyway, he was one of the conservatives, and there were a couple of liberals
who taught other sections of the same course. I took the course from Will,
but I also watched the videos of lectures taught by one of the other two
(MSU was a pioneer in video distribution of lectures; 2-in. quad).

You couldn't tell any difference in what they taught or how they taught it.
And George Will knew this at the time. Will was by far the most dynamic of
the bunch, but there was no detectable coloration of what was taught by
either side.

He probably just resents the fact that nobody would eat lunch with him. g
(In fact, the residence college of policy science at MSU -- James Madison
Residence College -- had quite a few conservative professors at the time.
But not many conservative students.)
