: This is a work-in-progress with 24 references already.  There have been numerous instances of plagiarism by professors without any punishment, and those citations will be easy to fill in, and I welcome assistance.  Godspeed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 16:57, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

:::It does appear as if liberals are over represented in academia with 90% of professors describing themselves as being as liberal or moderates. [http://chronicle.com/temp/reprint.php?id=s1153nnhjkhr407r6ng6gjg8pvc8g2s8]  Therefore, there does appear to be less conservatives in academia.  So one would expect there to be more atheist in academia.  At the same time , atheism is not a professor value as about 25% of philosophy professors are theist. [http://www.rzim.org/slice/slicetran.php?sliceid=880] In the business and engineering departments the percentage of professors being theist is probably higher given that they are more conservative.  In regards to plagiarism being a professor value, many instances of professors committing this act does not necessarily constitute it being a professor value.  There are a lot of professors in the USA and abroad so the real question what percentage of professors have engaged in plagiarism.  In other words, you can can find many instances of men beating their wives in the United States but is wife beating a "male value"?  I don't think it is.  Again, it comes down to the percentage issue.  So to sum up, I think the opening paragraph needs to be less expansive in its claims or provide additional support.
