I'm not familiar with American educational institutions, but the study mentions 'Elite Liberal Arts College Faculty'. Does this represent all colleges and universities?

I doubt it

I haven't seen the study and I don't know which colleges and universities were sampled.

I can't tell if they only surveyed professors with tenure.

edit:

My sample of 8,688 tenure track, Ph.D.–holding professors from fifty-one of the sixty-six top ranked liberal arts colleges in the U.S. News 2017 report consists of 5,197, or 59.8 percent, who are registered either Republican or Democrat. The mean Democratic-to-Republican ratio (D:R) across the sample is 10.4:1, but because of an anomaly in the definition of what constitutes a liberal arts college in the U.S. News survey, I include two military colleges, West Point and Annapolis.

5100 number is incorrect

Sample was 8688 tenure track professors which means they skew younger.

Professors with tenure are older, over 50 years
