While 69% of students say they are "center-right" and only 13% are from the "Left" - 58% of right-wing student refrain from expressing my views for fear of the lecturers' reaction

A new survey by the Panels Politics Institute reveals the political positions of students in academia. 

A poll conducted last week found that the right constitutes an overwhelming majority among students. 69.3% of students defined themselves on the center-right axis in the political map. In contrast, only 13.6% of students belonged to the left camp or the center left camp. 

The survey, commissioned by the Oats Library, was conducted among 505 students with Panel4all.

The survey findings show that the same majority in academia is a silent majority. 58% of right-wing students expressed moderate to very much agreement with the statement: "I refrain from expressing my views for fear of the lecturers' reaction." 

In addition, 79% of the center-right students agreed with the statement "the bias harms the quality of teaching." 

The percentage of those who suffer from political bias in academia among all those surveyed reaches 38 percent, with 48% of those who feel discriminated against on political grounds in academia coming from the right wing of the map, while only 22% on the left feel so.

The survey further showed that 76.2% of right-wing students are convinced that the academy is biased to the center left to the extreme left. This figure may explain why 40% of those surveyed identified with the statement that they wanted more conservative content in academia.
