Is protest considered free speech as well? If so, then any presentation that is edgy can have a protest response. If it’s not considered free speech, then things are inconsistent but perhaps not unexpected? And I would think that freedom includes “no mandatory hosting” and especially “no mandatory attendance or recognition”.

Of course. But protesting is much different than attempting to suppress speech, which is what we've often seen at universities in recent years.

Huh? How are you getting to this from the linked article or the Chicago Principles?
