Law School Political Diversity?

David Horowitz has published a study (Representation of Political Perspectives in Law and Journalism Faculties) (with Joseph Light at the Center for the Student {Ed.: Sic} of Popular Culture) showing that Democrats outnumber Republicans 8:1 on the faculties of 10 elite law schools (and 9 journalism schools).  The study examined the political party registrations of law faculty at these 10 law schools:

Political Party Registrations of Law School Faculty
School	Democrats	Republicans	D/R Ratio
Columbia	46	2	23:1
Harvard	45	7	7:1
NYU	68	5	14:1
Northwestern	29	7	4:1
Stanford	28	1	28:1
Cal-Berkeley	55	6	9:1
Chicago	56	8	7:1
Penn	27	8	3:1
USC	30	4	8:1
Yale	46	5	9:1
Total	430	53	8:1

I couldn't tell you exactly what the ratio is at DU; however,  I would guess we are comparable to Columbia (I wish I could say that more often!).
