Official capacity should be neutral but the expectation that only liberal, radicals are allowed political activity is offensive.

If it happens at Harvard (to the extent things appear to be officially sanctioned by the university) it would be wrong too. It is even more wrong at BYU, however, where many members then wonder if the actual directive is coming from the church as opposed to a mere university. I would have to say, if I received an email from 2 different deans at BYU urging me to vote for Romney, I would wonder if the message was tacitly approved by the Board of Trustees (and, thus, church leadership).
