Taylor is a Christian University and Pence is known as a high-profile devout Christian. You nor anyone else knew if the speech was to be political; as they walked out before a word was uttered. If Pence kept his comments to Religious views then he, nor the administrators made it political; however, the ones that walked out did, because they disagree with his politics.

We will further disagree that part of an educator's job is to make known their political bias.

Of course we will disagree. You don't see a university as a university.

For you professors are "employees" on the clock, bringing politics to the workplace.  
Or are they more like soldiers, who represent the US whenever in uniform?

That's why their actions are "political" but their employers' is not.
If you manage a McDonald's, you don't want the kids at the cash register wearing "Go Biden" buttons on their uniform or refusing to serve Sarah Sanders.

We will further disagree that a university professor's job is to teach submission to authority--to employers.

And that submission is not political, but resistance is.
