Wash U’s control over the debate extends to monopolizing every chrysanthemum in town and telling the frat houses to put the couches inside while there's company on campus. Beyond that, the campaigns have to agree on debate format, moderator, etc. I'm not sure if there's an organization for that or a mediator, but on campus, unless it's Bill Danforth (and then only because of his stature), no one has any say in the format, participants, etc.

I know, but they can receive input nevertheless....
