The University of Minnesota’s Office for Student Affairs apologized on Tuesday for a theme party it recently hosted on campus that some community members called inappropriate and offensive.
Students and the school’s Goldy Gopher mascot wore sombreros and ponchos at the “Galactic Fiesta” event in the St. Paul Student Center’s game room, which the University’s Student Unions and Activities office sponsored, according to an email sent to students, staff and faculty by Vice Provost for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Danita Brown Young.
