Commencement Speakers Survey: Liberals Outnumber Conservatives Seven-to-One at America’s Top 100 Universities

Young America’s Foundation’s 19th annual “Commencement Speakers Survey” reveals that 71 liberal speakers—and only ten conservatives—are scheduled to speak or have already spoken at the 2012 commencement ceremonies for the top 100 universities as listed by US News and World Report.

Among the top 35 universities, only one conservative is scheduled to speak, compared to 29 liberals.

Sixteen Obama administration officials and appointees will speak, more than all the conservatives combined. Young America’s Foundation’s previous research shows that Bush administration officials spoke at the top 100 universities a total of 14 times throughout his Presidency. In President Obama’s first three years, administration officials have spoken 29 times—more than double the total number of Bush administration speeches.
