learning from other people's values, yes.
but a university is not a place to push morality. it's a place of education and ideas, and as a university, you can't stand by some values and curse others, because you're a campus of free thought and exchange.
the moment that you express some preference towards some ideas and start labeling others as bad or horrible, you push your own morality.
stop making it seem like I'm arguing for anything more than that.

what are you talking about? do you actually have a problem with faculty from one of the most renown universities advocating for equal and discrimination free education?
