An article published in FrontPage Magazine, an online forum for political columnists, said professor Grover Furr was one who"employs a simple ploy in ramming Marxism, glowing accounts of communism and anti-U.S. propaganda down his students' throats." Furr has a PhD in medieval studies.

- News Story: Two studies being published on Nov. 18 show that Republicans are outnumbered in academia. One of the studies, a national survey of more than 1,000 academics, shows that Democratic professors outnumber Republicans by at least seven to one in the humanities and social sciences. That ratio is more than twice as lopsided as it was three decades ago, and it seems quite likely to keep increasing, because the younger faculty members are more consistently Democratic than the ones nearing retirement, said Daniel Klein, an associate professor of economics at Santa Clara University and a co-author of the study. In a separate study of voter registration records, Professor Klein found a nine-to-one ratio of Democrats to Republicans on the faculties of Berkeley and Stanford. That study, which included professors from the hard sciences, engineering and professional schools as well as the humanities and social sciences, also found the ratio especially lopsided among the younger professors of assistant or associate rank: 183 Democrats versus 6 Republicans.
