How Politically Diverse Are University Faculty? A Discussion of HxA's New Research Report (HxA Members Only)

The latest research report from Heterodox Academy critically examines faculty political diversity in U.S. higher education — an issue that continues to generate significant debate within and beyond the academy about viewpoint diversity and the truth-seeking mission of universities.

With the release of the report, HxA members are invited to an exclusive opportunity to engage directly with the researchers behind the work.

On Wednesday, March 11, 2026 at 4:00 PM ET, join Dylan Selterman, Erin Shaw, and Shiri Spitz Siddiqi for a members-only webinar discussing the report and its broader implications. Members will have the opportunity to:

  • Hear directly from the research team about the motivation and scope of the project
  • Ask questions about the findings and their interpretation
  • Engage fellow HxA members in open discussion about what this research means for higher education
  • Explore how evidence about faculty political diversity can inform efforts to strengthen open inquiry and truth-seeking on campus.

Space is limited — Register today to join the discussion! 

Attendance is open exclusively to HxA members; membership is free and open to anyone working in higher education.
