They're being forbidden by the university to testify.

How can testifying be one of their official duties?



I think that they're being forbidden by the university from testifying as expert witnesses using their capacities as professors of the university.

I could be wrong but it looks like they can testify as citizens, but not paid experts.

Everything I have read from the University and the professors so far indicates they are being denied under any circumstance. Including doing it pro bono at least according to one of the professors: https://twitter.com/ElectProject/status/1454526638578880516 it is being denied by Gray Wimsett, Assistant Vice President of Conflicts of Interest.
