But we don’t know if they helped the gubernatorial candidate. “According to a Campus Reform analysis, 100 percent of all UGA administrators who donated to political candidates or causes gave a total of $6,436.70 to Democrat politicians or Democrat organizations, such as Katie Porter for Congress and Emily’s List, a group focused on electing pro-choice Democratic women,” Andrew Lawrence reports in Campus Reform.

Ironically, Other UGA employees and even faculty lean further to the right than administrators, although not many and not by much. “In total, UGA employees donated $41,348.60 from 2017-2018. Of that amount, 87.2 percent were made to Democrat politicians or Democrat organizations, while just 12.8 percent of the donations were made to Republican politicians or Republican organizations,” Lawrence write. “Only six UGA employees donated Republican, 4 of whom were faculty members.”
