It reminds me of a comment by Terry Eagleton, the British Marxist literary critic who is an expert on ideology and who was invited to be a visiting professor at Brigham Young University. He was puzzled beyond belief why Mormons would need to learn anything more about ideology.

If he's talking religious ideology, then I would agree with him when it comes to BYU students, and most faculty. They don't all have the same political ideology though. I wonder if "Visiting Professors" have to abide by the same code of conduct students and full time professors have to?
Mormons are actually a lot more open minded than many people give them credit for. BYU is not afraid to allow differing viewpoints to be heard. One tenet of their faith is the ability to discern truth through the gift of the Holy ghost. I know they allow diverse points of view on the BYU campus, but they draw the line at instructors contradicting church doctrine.
