<\/a><\/p>\n

I will be starting a series of posts on “the left” at Christian universities. It is widely assumed, I think, that most Christian universities are made up of faculty with a right-leaning tilt. While that’s certainly true for some, it is not nearly true for all, and the trend-line is definitely leftward.<\/p>\n

There are several dynamics at work in this. Over the next few weeks, I’ll try to unpack my ideas about this, based on many years in the Christian academy, and some research I’ve been doing into trends at various institutions.<\/p>\n

I promise, there will be something to offend nearly everyone.<\/p>\n

For now, I will say that two clear signs of the leftward move are the creation of administrative posts to promote “diversity”, and a more-or-less uncritical acceptance of the standard environmentalist narrative, particularly anthropogenic global warming.<\/p>\n

But we’ll talk.<\/p>\n
