A non-partisan lecture fund at Georgetown University has given more than three times as much money to host liberal speakers as it has to their conservative counterparts. <\/p>\n
The Georgetown Review, a student newspaper at the university, analyzed the Georgetown University Lecture Fund, a non-partisan student run organization, and found that Georgetown has paid three times as many liberals as conservatives to speak, according to Campus Reform. <\/p>\n
The newspaper calculated the percentages based on speakers hosted during the last four years, 2013-2017. <\/p>\n
59 percent and 12 percent of the partisan speakers hired were liberal and left-leaning, respectively, while 16 percent and 2 percent of the politically-charged lecturers were conservative or right-leaning. The Georgetown Review judged the remaining 12 percent to be political moderates. But the Lecture Fund has also hosted slightly more apolitical speakers than liberals. <\/p>\n
Republicans fare slightly better when accounting for all election cycles from 1990 to 2016 at Georgetown. In these elections, they receive 14% of political donations, $450,220, which is still a fraction of the $2,713,683 obtained by Democrat candidates. <\/p>\n
