The University of Louisville has offered an apology after its president hosted what has been deemed as a very offensive costume party last Wednesday.
President James Ramsey and members of his staff wore sombreros, colorful ponchos and fake blackmustachesand held maracas as part of a “Mexican bandit” costume.
Hispanic students, who comprise 3.42 percent of the university’s population, were less than impressed by the staff’s costume choice. And according to one student, it goes farther than only offending Mexicans.
