===Academic Bill of Rights===
In the early 21st century, Horowitz concentrated on issues of academic freedom, attempting to protect conservative viewpoints. He, Eli Lehrer and [[Bruin Alumni Association|Andrew Jones]] published a pamphlet, "Political Bias in the Administrations and Faculties of 32 Elite Colleges and Universities" (2004), in which they find the ratio of [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrats]] to [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]] at 32 schools to be more than 10 to 1.<ref name="wtimescollege">{{cite news|url=http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2004/apr/20/20040420-084524-4394r|title=College update|last=Williams|first=Walter|date=April 20, 2004|work=The Washington Times|access-date=January 8, 2010}}</ref> Horowitz's book, ''[[The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America]]'' (2006), criticized individual professors for, as he alleges, engaging in indoctrination rather than a disinterested pursuit of knowledge.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cms.studentsforacademicfreedom.org//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2&Itemid=5|title=About Students for Academic Freedom|access-date=February 1, 2007|publisher=Students For Academic Freedom|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070218163553/http://cms.studentsforacademicfreedom.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2&Itemid=5|archive-date=February 18, 2007|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

Horowitz published an [[Academic Bill of Rights]] (ABR), which he proposes to eliminate political bias in university hiring and grading. He says conservatives, and particularly [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]] members, are systematically excluded from faculties, citing statistical studies on faculty party affiliation.<ref>{{cite news|url= https://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/11/opinion/where-cronies-dwell.html |title=Where Cronies Dwell|access-date=September 10, 2018|first=John|last=Tierney|date=October 11, 2005|work=The New York Times}}</ref> In 2004 the Georgia General Assembly passed a resolution on a 41–5 vote to adopt a version of the ABR for state educational institutions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aaup-ca.org/Larkin_abor.html|title=What's Not To Like About The Academic Bill of Rights|publisher=Aaup-ca.org|access-date=April 23, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130121095713/http://aaup-ca.org/Larkin_abor.html|archive-date=January 21, 2013}}</ref> In [[Pennsylvania]], the House of Representatives created a special legislative committee to investigate issues of academic freedom, including whether students who hold unpopular views need more protection.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2006/11/16/tabor|title=Who Won the Battle of Pennsylvania?|access-date=February 2, 2007|first=Scott|last=Jaschik|date=November 16, 2006|website=Inside Higher Ed}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2006/11/22/tabor|title=From Bad to Worse for David Horowitz|access-date=February 2, 2007|first=Scott|last=Jaschik|date=November 22, 2006|website=Inside Higher Ed}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://cms.studentsforacademicfreedom.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2308&Itemid=52|title=Pennsylvania Legislative Committee Advocates Sweeping Reforms to Campus Academic Freedom Policies|access-date=February 2, 2007|first=Sara|last=Dogan|date=November 16, 2006|publisher=Students For Academic Freedom|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070609093751/http://cms.studentsforacademicfreedom.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2308&Itemid=52|archive-date=June 9, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://cms.studentsforacademicfreedom.org//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2324&Itemid=40|title=Pennsylvania's Academic Freedom Reforms|access-date=February 2, 2007|first=David|last=Horowitz|date=December 6, 2006|publisher=Students For Academic Freedom|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070218004730/http://cms.studentsforacademicfreedom.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2324&Itemid=40|archive-date=February 18, 2007}}</ref>
