In the Florida case, one of the stated reasons he was fired was he failed to distance himself from the university and brought disrepute to the institution to the point where it was difficult to raise monies.
A practical matter that Mr. Churchill is risking.

That's a slippery slope indeed then! Under that precedent, prefessors now have to censor themselves, lest they risk damaging their institution's reputation.
What's wrong with the standard disclaimer, "Those views belong only to Dr. X and do not represent those of this university, its faculty, students, alumni, senate, or board of regents."?

Yes but it also stops professor from stopping taking their classes seriously and starting to use them as a way to spread their own views rather than try and teach the students about the facts from both sides.
