<p>I am not sure about the voting processes for these academies, but I have a feeling one already has to be a member to get a vote. If that is the case, schools that have large amounts of inductees are more likely to be voting for their colleagues who they see on a daily basis than those on other faculties. I know there are strict quotas on new memberships per year, so I would imagine a bit of partisonship plays a major role in who gets accepted.</p>
