If the ratio is 7:1, and in anthropology it's 30:1, doesn't that mean that some disciplines have to be FAR closer to 1:1. If the high end is 30:1, and the average is 7:1, it's mathematically impossible for some disciplines to not bring the overall ratio DOWN!

Aside from that, maybe the more educated people get, the more broadly they can view things. I think there is ample evidence that conservatives like their information predigested and in as narrow a slice as possible.

When one deals with ambiguity better, perhaps like, you know, EDUCATED people, they become more liberal.

Just maybe.
