Attendees at graduation ceremonies this spring for an Ivy League, Southeastern Conference or Big Ten university are far more likely to hear a liberal or Democratic speaker than a conservative or Republican one, according to an analysis conducted by The College Fix.
At most there are only three Republican or right-leaning speakers, while there are 19 Democratic or liberal-leaning speakers, the analysis found.
The Fix looked at the three conferences that cover schools in the South, East Coast and Midwest. The review only included speakers at either the main ceremony or the undergraduate one. The Fix used past statements, news stories and political donations to establish the views of speakers.
