History News Network Features ICAR Professor Solon Simmons
Ph.D., Sociology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
M.A., Sociology, University of Wisconsin-Madison

And that's a recipe for boredom. Part of the problem stems from professors' own political biases, of course. Don't get me wrong: We're not the crazy-eyed Marxists whom you've read about in the papers. As a recent study by sociologists Neil Gross and Solon Simmons has confirmed, American university professors are mostly moderate-to-liberal rather than radical.
