As noted sociologist Seymour Lipset has written, “Intellectuals, academics…in the United States tend as a group to be disproportionately on the left. They are either liberal Democrats or supporters of left-wing minorities.”<ref>https://susandharris.com/a-former-senators-prophetic-warning-to-america/</ref>}} Earlier in 1968, he had said the following about the mail he had received: {{cquote|Underscoring this liberal-left dominance is…the material I receive as a professor of political science. Obviously, the senders, after obtaining lists of college and university faculties from various sources, mail out the material on the valid assumption that the recipients would be of a liberal-left persuasion.}}
