Contrary to the impression created in ACTA's report, "Defending Civilization: How Our Universities Are Failing America, and What Can Be Done About It," the majority of items cited in the list in its appendix did not involve identified faculty members.

ACTA List Breakdown By Source of Statement or Action: Most Items Involve No Identified Faculty

Contrary to the impression created in ACTA's report, "Defending Civilization: How Our Universities Are Failing America, and What Can Be Done About It," the majority of items cited in the list in its appendix did not involve identified faculty members. A total of 44 items referred to identified current faculty-specific speech or actions, 9 referred to faculty involvement along with others, and 3 referred to emeritus faculty, who have none of the institutional power ACTA worries about. Such items are marked with asterisks and identified in subtotals of the categories they are counted in. A majority, 61 items, have no identified faculty involvement.

But even this substantially overstates ACTA's case of alleged faculty influence over classroom students. Only half of the 44 items referred to faculty in disciplines with a plausible, direct or possible, situational relationship to the conduct of war.

  • Only 7 referred to faculty in disciplines with a plausible, direct classroom relationship to conduct of the war: international relations, government, and communications/journalism.
  • Only 15 referred to faculty in disciplines with a possible, situational classroom relationship to conduct of war: anthropology, history, sociology, and social science.

  • Another 14 referred to faculty in disciplines with only a distant classroom relationship to conduct of war: art, English, linguistics, religious studies, women's studies, Hawaiin studies, economics, and psychology.
  • Another 3 referred to faculty in disciplines with no classroom relationship to conduct of war: mathematics and physics.
  • And 5 referred to faculty that were undifferentiated or unidentified.
