I think it depends on the University. If it is a State run university, (California State Univeristy system). Then I can see the justification for state level legislation stating you can't spend tax payer time & resources supporting political agendas. Effectively the State is your employer and they don't want you using your work time and resources for political purposes. However, the university is also where an awful lot of our youth get their first exposure to politics and historically Professors and their views, writings etc.. have been part of this.
