“I was a Classics major. I haven’t a clue about the politics of my professors, advisers, Dean, or Chair of the department”

You were very fortunate to have professional instructors and educators. Lucky you. I was a STEM major but had to take core courses in a variety of subjects. A couple of examples I vividly remember:

Writing seminar professor: Can you believe what that idiot [Presidential candidate] said about ______? It is amazing that anyone would be dumb enough to vote for that jerk. If he wins, I really will have to move to Canada. Idiots like that are ruining our country. (I still have no idea why that professor would even bring up politics since it was a course in writing development, but since our grades were fairly subjective of course people tended to just shut up and listen whenever one of the random political rants happened.)

A black Sociology professor would regularly inject his political views in his discussions of sociological issues. One example was when there was legislation proposing welfare reform, he gave a long, impassioned speech about how only fools and racists wanted to eliminate welfare. Many of his lectures were phrased such that any person who disagreed with a social program was labeled a racist.
