Tufts UniversityTufts University's course descriptions average 65.5 on the 100-to-0 ruler: clearly left of center. Across all 100 schools, the average is 67.5, so Tufts University reads 2.0 points further right.
Subject places what a course studies, not the side it takes. A course on slavery or the Holocaust lands far right and a course on Marx or the Soviet Union lands far left, whether the course praises, criticizes or simply describes it.

Political lean of course descriptions. Average Framing score (0 = far right, 50 = center, 100 = far left) of the scored courses in the group.
50 is the survey-anchored center of US adults on each issue (the "moderate" place of the ANES/GSS/PRRI seven-label ruler), not the cohort midpoint; scores above 50 read leftward, below 50 rightward.
Counted: courses with a Framing score (categories L/R/B/C). The likely range (95% interval) is 64.4 to 66.6; a comparison whose range overlaps this one is not a reliable difference.
