Interesting study. I imagine that you would probably find the same in reverse in many business schools and some economics departments -- particularly those that espouse public choice theory. (Related to this, I wonder if there is self-selection bias on the part of people who pick particular disciplines of study, based upon the "belief system" of that discipline.)
Also, while I only skimmed the study, it was not clear to me if the "discrimination" would be the result of differences in political philosophy or differences from the theory norm of the discipline (which I am fully willing to admit may espouse a particular political philosophy). This difference thought would be one of semantics, not of results. And it would limit the true discussion on the nature of many issues.
