in history at Chicago, there are certainly some right wing wackos that have passed throught this institution, but there are also some very liberal progressive scholars associated with the place, even in the poli-sci department
the history department is definitely on the left, as are most of the humanities, anthro too
i've taught a lot of undergraduates and find them to be for the most part on the left in a very sensible way
there is a 'secret' progressive tradition that begins with Chicago's creation in the late 19th century and continues today
unfortunately, it's fools like Strauss, Friedman, Wolfowitz et al who get all the press
