War on Universities, Lawyers & Expertise

The entire statement can be read here but, to me, it seems like a fairly good idea and it's one that most schools/corporations/businesses follow - stay out of politics and, in this case, focus on the fundamental reason for your existence, which is educating students, many of whom have paid a significant amount of money to be educated by you.

If the government injects politics into education, why should schools stay out of politics?

I'm not saying they should stay out of politics. I'm saying that getting involved in politics doesn't always work out well for schools, businesses, corporations, etc, so it's not surprising that they are making the decision to get out.

If the schools are neutral does that mean so too must be the teachers?
