While I understand what you're saying (and agree), the university specifically mentioned freedom of speech.
That's would've included chosen appearance, considering they've applied it to this cat's dreads.
Now.... I'm not suggesting people go around in black-face.
I'm just thinking of the different varieties of people out there and how they might identify.
They may be whites that identify with being black and choose to wear make-up to feel comfortable.
I just wonder if they would be protected or ridiculed ?
I swear I have not been watching "Soul Man".
