Not sure about that. Maybe among the Christian-Right-dominated schools. Physicists also don't tend to have a problem with keeping professors apolitical. Economics departments certainly do, in many cases -- hence my example of Auburn and ths stacking of staff who all agree with the same view.

That's politics, not economics.
