I know of Tara Smith from her book Viable Values but where could I find a (complete) list of university professors who are openly Objectivist or at least lean in that direction?

Here’s a short list of scholars who have done work on Rand or in Objectivism (I tried to limit the list to professors who are generally sympathetic as per the topic) I was able to come up with just from a brief search:

Leonard Peikoff, Lester H. Hunt, David Kelley, William R. Thomas, Alan Gotthelf, Tara Smith, Doug Den Uyl, Doug Rasmussen, Tibor Machan, Robert L. Campbell, Kristi Minsaas, Bryan Register, Murray Franck, Fred Seddon, Robert, Hartford, James Montmarquet, Kathleen Touchstone, James G. Lennox, George Walsh, John McCaskey, Eric Mack, Neera Badhwar, Roderick Long, Edward Younkins, Steven Hicks, Adam Mossoff, Fred D. Miller, Darryl Wright, Chris Sciabarra, Irfan Khawaja, Anthony Flew, Greg Salmieri, Onkar Ghate, Harry Binswanger, David Harriman, Eric Daniels, Gary Hull, Robert Mayhew, John Ridpath, John Lewis, Ben Bayer, Andrew Bernstein
