Catholics aren't the only ones who see this distinction. But you would expect at least that in a Catholic school, teaching the official Catholic position would be an unexceptional thing.

He's at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, hardly a "Catholic school" (though they do have a pretty solid Newman center, I'm told).

However, he was hired to teach classes on Catholicism. It makes no sense to do that, and then to fire him for accurately relaying Catholic teachings to his students.
