Your institution (department/university) probably does not love you, and that's not its role. Instead of demanding they make political statements you agree with, insist on the freedom to make your own statements without repercussion. Academic freedom is the gift that keeps on giving. #highered

True, but what attitude should you take when your institution is making political statements you disagre with?
Because when the institution speaks, it is very hard for it to speak in a way that doesn't imply it speaks for *you*, and the only remedy is to loudly proclaim in public that it doesn't.
In other words, due to the political speech of the institution you are still compelled to perform propaganda work just to keep a neutral position.
@tobychev Ya, always good to speak out against the boss (while demanding the right to do so with impunity)
