REPORT: 5 out of 6 top university donations go to Dems

REPORT: 5 out of 6 top university donations go to Dems:
"Democrat candidates have been overwhelmingly successful at soliciting political donations at universities nationwide.
Five out of six dollars donated to presidential campaigns from the top fifty national universities have gone to Democrat candidates.
Over 1,200 faculty, staff, and students at the top fifty universities as ranked by the U.S. News and World Report have made contributions to presidential campaigns so far this election cycle.
Filings released by the Federal Electoral Commission on October 16 reveal that together, their donations amount to $1.3 million so far this election cycle.
Only 13 out of 119 student donors gave to Republicans.   
Of that $1.3 million in political donations, over $1.1 million went to Democratic candidates.
Hillary Clinton alone raised $917,591, or roughly 70 percent of the total amount.
Clinton has been performing particularly well among Ivy League universities, where she received over 87 percent of all donations."
