Members of the staff and student body didn't make it so.
But you've already indicated you're good with educators sharing their political bias while on the clock. Perhaps that's part of what their job "really is".
The staff most certainly did make it political. It would be hard to pick a university that doesn't mix their politics and religion with their educational programs as much as Liberty. Certainly Notre Dame and BYU give Liberty a run for their money with the religious instruction, but not the political.
Founded by Jerry Falwell, Liberty pushes a right wing, conservative Christian world view; "training champions for Christ is what we do."
Pence, Trump, H.W. Bush, Jeb Bush, Romney, Jindal, Fox News reporter Bream, Duck Dynasty's Willie Robertson are some of their commencement speakers. Clearly nothing political.
