You might start out by running a non-exit relay, to get them used to the idea?
I think that would be the right place to start. The one Ian Goldberg mentioned at Cambridge is non-exit.
They really shouldn't complain about that at all, but maybe they will and all of your conversations will go more smoothly if that's your starting point.
Are there any possibilities that running a relay would get an IP address blacklisted anywhere? Do exit and non-exit relays get treated the same by those that block Tor?
Once you're making progress, you can tell them "and later we can talk about making it an exit relay".
We're an Internet engineering research group, so I imagine a research reason is going to come up for an exit relay eventually (if it hasn't already - we are looking into the list of open research questions).
