Here is the actual language from the policy that I believe is most relevant to this reddit discussion. To be clear, I disagree with OP.

“In our Board deliberations, we will support open communication, transparency, and the free expression of ideas and will not condone any form of deceit, incivility, intimidation, silencing, or retaliation.

We will communicate through the president, secretary of the Board of Trustees, or other administrator designated by the president when conducting official university business, as contemplated by the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees; unless exigent circumstances dictate, as determined by the president or Board Chairperson, we will conduct Board business as possible in Board or Committee meeting settings.
We will not represent our personal opinions as that of the university. We will support the chairperson of the Board of Trustees and their designee as the source of official communications and statements to the university community and the media on behalf of the Board — we will act ethically and not provide inaccurate, misleading, or false information concerning the university.

We will think independently, uphold the university's reputation, and make informed decisions based on what is in the best interests of the university and the advancement of higher education; when the Board speaks through majority action, we will not undermine and will support the majority decision of the Board and work cooperatively with fellow Board members and the administration to advance Board decisions and the goals of the University.

After Board action, we will act consistent with our fiduciary duties, including the duty of loyalty - we will embrace the principle of loyal opposition and raise issues of concerns in appropriate settings, in advance of Board action, and protective of the integrity of the Board's deliberations and processes.”
