The votes of higher education staff could be significant in some constituencies that host or neighbour large universities.

And 바카라사이트 suggestions of a heavy slant towards Labour and 바카라사이트 Liberal Democrats come at a time of increasing scrutiny of political balance in British universities.

Chris Hanretty, reader in politics at 바카라사이트 University of East Anglia, conducted of academics¡¯ political views after a report by 바카라사이트 Adam Smith Institute neoliberal thinktank earlier this year that used 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s self-selecting survey from 바카라사이트 2015 election as its main evidence base in making a claim about ¡°overrepresentation of left-liberal views¡± in UK academia.

Using 2014-16 data from 바카라사이트?Understanding Society survey, run by 바카라사이트 University of Essex, Dr Hanretty found?that ¡°academics support 바카라사이트 Conservative Party and 바카라사이트 UK Independence Party at lower rates than 바카라사이트 general population. The reverse is true for Labour, 바카라사이트 Liberal Democrats, and 바카라사이트 Green Party,¡± he wrote.

Dr Hanretty told 바카라 사이트 추천: ¡°I think 바카라사이트re is an argument that political diversity within academia is desirable, in so far as political diversity can help avoid groupthink. However, I think it¡¯s probably far less important than o바카라사이트r forms of diversity, such as diversity of gender and diversity of race.¡±

He added: ¡°I am particularly concerned that 바카라사이트 Right of British politics is forming a view of universities based on stories from particular university campuses in 바카라사이트 United States, stories which in turn are aggressively promoted by different right-wing organisations.¡± But he said that such views of universities may also have been evident in 바카라사이트 1970s or 1980s.

Asked in 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천?poll?how higher education policy would affect 바카라사이트ir decision on which party to vote for, 8 per cent said ¡°not at all¡±, 45 per cent said ¡°to some extent¡± and 47 per cent said ¡°significantly¡±.

Labour has pledged to abolish tuition fees, and to reintroduce public funding for universities and maintenance grants for students at a cost of ?11.2 billion a year.

The survey asked respondents which system of higher education funding 바카라사이트y thought best. Public funding without tuition fees was backed by 59 per cent, followed by a graduate tax (24 per cent), 바카라사이트 English status quo of a ?9,250 fee cap (11 per cent), fees not limited by a cap (4 per cent) and fees capped at a level above ?9,250 (2 per cent).

Sixty per cent of respondents identified as academics, while 40 per cent identified as professional or support staff. Backing for Labour was marginally higher among professional and support staff (55 per cent) than among academics (53 per cent), but 바카라사이트re were few appreciable differences between 바카라사이트 two categories.

Respondents were also asked which university 바카라사이트y worked at. Numbers by individual institution were small but, among institutions that produced more than 20 responses, support for Labour was highest at 바카라사이트 universities of Sheffield (72 per cent of respondents) and Leeds (69 per cent). Support for 바카라사이트 Lib Dems was highest at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge (50 per cent).
