94% of donations to one political party is an overwhelming majority:

In fact, after reviewing figures collected by the Center for Responsive Politics, Campus Reform found that over the past three election cycles faculty and staff members at America’s most prestigious institutions have donated $11,688,209 to the Democratic party, but only $1,283,151 to their opponents, meaning that over 90 percent of publicly-reported donations have gone to Democrats while less than 10 percent have gone to Republicans.

Similarly, during this presidential election alone, Ivy Leaguers have donated $3,536,424 to Democrats but just $230,610 to Republicans—a “grand” total of 6 percent of donations for the Grand Old Party.
