Explain the difference between "hosting" and "participating in." This is as fundamental contradiction as the fallacious notion of "institutional neutrality" which contradicts the basis of "searching for truth, knowledge, understanding." More self-serving searches for institutional "safety," bound to fail.
In any ideological debate, the ideologues will always take the position that "if you're not with me, you're against me". Institutional neutrality sounds like a nice idea but it won't satisfy anyone.
