The Group's goal is to broaden the diversity of opinions on college campuses.

Each schools' ranking is based upon their internal regulations, incidents of censorship, and the ratings of other first-amendment groups.

members: political scientist Jack Citrin, sociologist Nicholas A. Christakis


The members of Heterodox come from all points in the political spectrum. The largest group (25%) were moderates, as of June 2017 when the group numbered 900 members according to internal polling.


Heterodox Academy created a "Viewpoint Diversity Experience" designed "to prepare students for democratic citizenship and success in the political diverse workplaces they will soon inhabit."


founded 2015

college guide, viewpoint diversity experience

The smallest number of members are those that consider themselves conservative/right; most are moderates/centrists, liberals, or progressives.


Founded in 2015

conference

Debra Mashek took a leave of absence from her tenured job as a psychology professor at Harvey Mudd College to become the executive director


members legal scholar Robert P. George, Steven Pinker, linguist John McWhorter, former ACLU president Nadine Strossen


Heterodox Academy was an idea initially conceived of by academics Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz and Jonathan Haidt over lunch on April 28, 2015. Rosenkranz coined the name for the site later in the summer of 2015. The site grew out of the paper "Political diversity will improve social psychological science" by academics José L. Duarte, Jarret T. Crawford, Charlotta Stern, Jonathan Haidt, Lee Jussim and Philip E. Tetlock published in the January 2015 edition of Behavioral and Brain Sciences. It was a sort of "online salon frequented by a few colleagues."

However, in the wake of the 2015 campus freedom of speech controversies such as those surrounding Erika Christakis at Yale and the 2015–16 University of Missouri protests, the membership grew and the website became "a clearinghouse for data and views on academic bias, scientific integrity, and the latest campus free-speech flaps." In June 2018, Heterodox Academy held an inaugural Open Mind Conference in New York City, featuring several academic guests recently involved in campus free speech or viewpoint diversity issues, like Robert Zimmer, Lucía Martínez Valdivia, Allison Stanger, Alice Dreger, and Heather Heying.

By February 2018, over 1500 college professors had joined Heterodox Academy, along with a couple hundred graduate students, from across the political spectrum and throughout the USA and internationally, including social psychologists, Jonathan Haidt and Lee Jussim, linguistics professor John McWhorter, cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker, law professor Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz, former president of the ACLU Nadine Strossen, and Nobel Prize winner Vernon Smith. As of February 2019, the organization reported that it had over 2,500 academic members and over 350 graduate affiliates.
