What do you mean?
Many many disciplines in academia discuss current events, society and politics. Universities (and those they educate) provide valuable research and data that governments should use to help guide their decisions and policymaking.
Also, in a free society government shouldn't be able to crack down on academics (or anyone) for being critical. Thats is free and healthy democratic society 101.
