Editor's Note: Georgia Tech's independent conservative newspaper, The Conservative Buzz, researched and published the overwhelming disparity in political donations made by the campus faculty. This information is of great interest to conservative alumni and prospective students; it can also garner significant media attention, as George Washington University's Young America's Foundation chapter learned when mentioned in The Washington Post yesterday. If you're eager to demonstrate blatant bias at your college, and earn recognition for your group by doing so, click here for step-by-step instructions on how to conduct this research.
The first words on the homepage for Tech’s Office of Diversity Programs read, “Diversity is one of Georgia Tech’s greatest strengths.” But is it?
The results of an investigative study by The Conservative Buzz into the political donations of Tech faculty, staff and administration found that an overwhelming near-90% of their private, personal campaign contributions went to Democrats or Democratic-aligned organizations during the 2006-2009 campaign cycles.
Of the $82,433 contributed to candidates by Tech employees, a mere $9,065 went to Republicans or conservative-leaning organizations, and a paltry $250 was designated as independent – a single donation made to the campaign of perennial presidential candidate Ralph Nader.
