One source on that
On the 90% thing, I don't know the Carnegie Commission but it would seem to be a reasonable source:
https://www.independent.org/tir/2022-23-winter/the-hyperpoliticization-of-higher-ed/
I've seen others that are similar.
Agreed it varies by discipline. I would argue, however, that several recent/expanding departments are by their nature going to skew liberal. Pretty much any (race/ethnicity) Studies or Gender Studies department. Sociology, which was that way at ND even back in the day.
