Is there anything in the study of telos that demands it be unitary? Even assuming "truth" and "social justice" are fundamentally disjoint, why must a university choose one over the other when they "collide"? The epithet "linear thinker" comes to mind.
Haidt's parenthetical is important: "But an institution such as a university must have one and only one highest and inviolable good." Institutions are complex, whether more or less so than the individuals composing them is debatable. But anyone who sells you with a pitch claiming that a university is a simple structure that must have a single arching _purpose_ is obviously a huckster of some sort.
