I wouldn't quite say that. It is possible—both for individuals and institutions—to be liberal as to some things, conservative as to others, and somewhere in between on still others. I'm not saying Belmont is or isn't liberal—I know next to nothing about Belmont—but I'd never say a conservative (but legally permissible) stance on one issue defines an institution over all. Belmont may not be bastion of liberalism, but despite a more conservative view on wanting religious faculty, it could still be "fairly liberal" overall, which was the claim.
