“Corporate America is Obsessed With Debate on Elite Campuses”
BLOOMBERG | SEPTEMBER 25, 2018
“Debra Mashek became so concerned that she took a leave from her tenured position this spring and
moved to New York to head Heterodox Academy, a young organization of academics — funded by a
group of private philanthropies — who share her worry. ‘We’re focused on breaching orthodoxies, on
playing devil’s advocate,’ she says. The rapidly growing group of 2,000 professors and 200 graduate
students held its first conference in June. Speakers sought to define the problem, understand its
origins, offer solutions — and fend off a bear hug from conservatives seeking to hammer the
multiculturalist Left rather than broaden debate.”

“Goodlatte Statement at Hearing on Intellectual Freedom in
America”
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES | SEPTEMBER 27, 2018
“According to data cited by the Heterodox Academy, college professors ‘went from leaning left
to being almost entirely on the left’ sometime in the years between 1995 and 2010. Likewise,
according to a working paper based on a survey by political scientists at Stanford University, Silicon
Valley, in terms of voting, ‘is one of the most strongly Democratic-leaning areas of the nation.’”

“Beyond the Numbers on Gender and Research”
INSIDE HIGHER ED | OCTOBER 10, 2018
“Musa al-Gharbi, a core staff member of Heterodox Academy, which seeks to increase
viewpoint diversity in academia, said Schiebinger’s and her colleagues’ paper highlights one
of the ‘key ideas undergirding’ his group — namely that ‘one's identity commitments inform
research at a fundamental level, influencing what lines of research people are drawn to, how
social problems are defined, the methods used to understand a given phenomenon, the
ways data are interpreted and how any conclusions are ultimately communicated.’”
