As my department head used to say tenure guarantees a job but not an office or salary.
If you somehow manage to slip through the system and get tenure, being a conservative means a lifetime of biting your tongue or ostracism.
You have a point. Fortunately, I'm at enough of a backwater of a school that faculty who are conservative are treated with respect. We have openly religious faculty, and openly conservative faculty, not just in the School of Business, but in the Natural Sciences and even the Social Sciences.
