I disagree on the tenure issue. Are you tenured or do you have experience in said area? I can tell you getting fired for sexual harrassment (sometimes even a minor charge of such is adequate), saying or expressing an opinion that is at odds with the PC crowd, making a statement opposing homos, transgenders, and perverts of many sorts, are all grounds for immediate dismissal.

Open disagreement with administrators may not get you fired, but it can result in having your research lab confiscated, and no raises for years on end. I personally know a professor that received no raise for 5 consecutive years. I have been in academia for 25 years and have seen it all. Tenured positions are being eliminated, so not to worry for the future.

They need to eliminate entire university departments. Why would anyone want a degree in Diversity Studies or Gender Equity?
