I disagree. When a rabbi offers a convocation he prays his own way and a Christian should pray his. Tolerance is being polite in the face of something you dont agree with.

That's what I think. Ecumenical is too much like political correctness and multiculturalism. Everything ends up being a bland mush and everyone is way too oversensitive.

Yes, but not in this setting. The purpose of a convocation is for it to be directed towards everyone who are listening. The fact not everyone was Christain made it inappropriate, in my Jewish opinion, to refrence Jesus. He should have just chosen something that did not have this reference.
