Spectator leads the way
ACTA points out “a new study from the Center for Responsive Politics comes at the issue from another angle, and reports some striking results. Tracking campaign contributions during the ‘08 cycle, the Center found that higher ed is a bigger donor than the oil and gas industry, the computer and Internet industry, general contractors, and the drug companies. Currently, people employed by colleges and universities have contributed over $7 million to prospective presidential candidates, parties and committees, with 76% of the total going to Democrats and 60% going to individual candidates.”
We note that the Center for Responsive Politics was following the Spectator’s lead. See Professors’ Political Contributions: Correlation between Activism and Donations? by Noble in the Feb. 2, 2007 Spectator. Kudos.
