I believe some professions inherently tend to lean one way or the other due to the nature of said profession and the temperament of the folks it'll attract. Scientific fields, education, etc have a tendency to veer left because those fields are all about expanding horizons and pushing boundries. Fields like accounting, civil engineering, and such have a tendency to veer conservative because there's a great emphasis on sticking with what's known to work and not rocking the boat or running costs up too much.
That's fine. In all cases integrity matters most, not political leaning. A liberal professor is not an issue. A professor of any political persuasion who demands his students follow his own idealogy or who pushes propaganda over truth, that is a problem.
