You must remember: this is ELCA Lutheran. They should not even call themselves Lutheran or Christian.
Good luck; hope it works out.
When I was an undergraduate, former President Gerald Ford came to speak at my university. I got there early and waited for about 30 minutes to be one of the first inside (there weren’t many waiting). Got the center most seat in the first row and was just several feet away from President Ford while he was speaking. I guess that I was both wowed and impressed as this was the first time I’d ever seen a president in person.
As he was departing, I had the “now or never” moment of sticking out my hand and shaking his. My gosh, the man had huge hands which totally enveloped mine.
Guess I’m old school, but that was a “moment” in my lifetime not easily forgotten. Nor would a commencement address by any current Vice President, no matter who he or she might be.
I think it is just they didn’t want their campus burned down.

Actually not, they are Wisconsin Synod. In the prehistoric times of my youth, they were in pulpit alter fellowship with the LCMS. They tended to regard the LCMS as liberal. They are very much pro-life.
If units ELCA, it’s hopeless but it would be strange for a commie ELCA to invite Pence in the first place.
WLC students and alumni just passed up an opportunity to hear and shake hands with the 2024 POTUS. Their loss. They speak of “love” but show hate. “Judge not lest ye be judged”. Guess they missed religion classes.
