In "Why Are Professors Liberal and Why Do Conservatives Care?," Neil Gross introduces research that suggests fifty to sixty percent of college professors are leftist or liberal, a much higher proportion than the seventeen percent of Americans in general. He posits the conservative fear that "bias" in higher education is a "very serious" problem. If the majority of faculty placing emphasis on social justice education (SJE) are liberal, how do we nullify the apparent conflict with the essential honors mission, as defined by the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC), to develop critical-thinking skills? The answer lies in the fallacy that correlation equals causation. The fact that faculty are liberal does not mean that SJE must be taught with an ideological agenda. The author contends that we can and must teach social justice from a non-partisan perspective and offers recommendations for best practices for SJE in the context of an honors program.
