This is what I would call a “typical” Boulder response..
I wish to thank Professor Rozek for his column in the Sunday, March 30 Camera presenting overwhelmingly convincing statistical evidence that the more highly educated a person is, the more likely that person is to be a Democrat.

and a much more reasoned response by CU faculty member Richard Radcliffe, albeit with the same conclusion.
If a liberal conspiracy was afoot, it would be expected that departments like Sociology, Economics, Political Science, etc. would be inundated with liberals, as apparently they are. But why would apolitical departments like Chemistry, Biology, Physics, etc. also have so few Republican faculty members?
leading him to suggest…
I suggest that the lack of Republicans on the CU faculty has little to do with some secret left-wing strategy and much more to do with the scarcity of Republicans who pursue academic careers or, I suspect, who even pursue the credentials that would qualify them to be on the faculty.
Maybe I want to find a school for my kids with teachers that have Masters degrees?
