"Campus police to probe ‘offensive’ Halloween costumes, students told"

Members of Tufts University’s Greek system have been told they could face “serious disciplinary sanctions” — including a possible investigation by the campus police — for wearing Halloween costumes that offend peers or make the campus community “feel threatened or unsafe.”

The warning was part of a letter to the presidents of fraternities and sororities on campus signed by various Greek Life council leaders, who asked the chapter presidents to relay the message to their members.

At the risk of sounding like Gloria Allred, is this probing of costumes restricted to coed costumes?

I take it there is a more offensive costume than a zombie costume?

Yoga pants?

I am going as a Dominican this year. Red pants. Yellow shirt. Gold tooth. Manny Ramirez replica jersey. Carrying a bowl of Sancocho and a short stops glove.

It is going to be epic.

I'm offended by this policy.

Can I press charges against it?

I got accustomed to school teachers forcing students to be nice to each other somewhere around kindergarten. For some people it seems to be taking them much more time.
