Liberal beliefs held by the counter-culture generation of the 1960s and '70s don't seem to have changed in many of those now teaching at U.S. colleges and universities, according to a top-ranking study done by Harvard University, though "in terms of their overall political orientation, professors are becoming more moderate over time, and less radical." Harvard University's Neil Gross and George Mason University's Solon Simmons compiled data from 1,417 full-time inst-ructors in 20 of the top-undergraduate departments at 927 colleges and universities. It is considered to be "arguably the best-designed survey of American faculty beliefs since the early 1970s" by The Chronicle of Higher Education.
