So Nazi's are openly seeking to use their speech to oppress, in a real non-SJW sense, people based on race.

This is true, but it's not what I said the reason for not letting them speak was. See, you already had an answer in mind, so much so that you didn't read mine.

Again:

They're openly racist and no one wants to be forced to sit through a blatantly racist speech at an event that's suppose to be a celebration. That's why they don't get invited. Similarly, other people hold beliefs that no one wants to hear at commencement. That's not censorship, it's tact and good taste.

What is appropriate for something like a commencement changes. Things that would have been fine 50 years ago are unacceptable now, and vice versa. That's not censorship nor is it a bad thing per se. I don't even always agree with what's acceptable, but it's the least of any issue of free speech out there.

Again, what about this speaker is 50 years ago? What about this speaker is a Nazi? What about this speaker is unacceptable? What about this speaker is in any way comparable to, in their minds, the hyperbole you've given? In what fashion could this speaker possibly even be anything but the minor inconvenience of being disagreed with?

So tell me, and I ask you for the third time, why you don't find this a serious social dilemma?
