Admins spew anodyne bullshit for a living. There’s nothing in persecution of dissent that cramps their style; they’re happy to spew whatever anodyne bullshit is in fashion. The narrower the scope of permitted expression, and the more explicitly defined the list of mandatory pieties, the easier it is to prepare your remarks.

But a competent academic is a funny old dinosaur who actually cares about the content of what he says. I suspect most administrators wonder if there’s any legitimate place for that sort of thing in the modern academy.
