I don't understand what you mean. Social justice is a label for a set of beliefs. I do not think that social justice is just about signaling. If it helps to understand what I mean, I'm a politically incorrect college professor.

academics are supposed to raise the status of their institution...He teaches at an elite university so it's highly probably he greatly values social justice.

Are you implying that there is a contradiction in what you quoted? If so, I don't see it.

There may indeed be a contradiction, but the real question - if we grant the first part - is what do you know and how do you know it? This seems to me like a really obvious point.
