That's actually an instance where I would side with the Church.

BYU is a privately funded university, and the Church has a vested 
interest in keeping tabs on what, exactly, is taught there.  I'd expect 
them to be hard on professors that don't toe the line, just like I would 
a private school run by Jehovah's Witnesses, or Jesuits, or any other 
religious group.

It's not like they're using state funds to run the place.  If you don't 
like what they teach, then don't go there - go to University of Utah 
instead, which is a public university.
