I understand some people being sensitive about the people they support being protested, but to suggest that any type of protest at any time is improper is actually kind of scary.  Blind obedience to authority leads to a lot of problems.

This was actually one of the more respectful demonstrations.  They got up and left and allowed him to speak without interruption.  

Why did the majority of the staff vote against Pence speaking; yet the vast majority remained while he did?

Because they were adults. As I said I have 0 issue with the kids walking out (protesting) or audience members walking out; It's their ceremony. But a handful of faculty chose to make this graduation about them.
