'Hawaiian Day' incorrect?

South Dakota legislature was concerned that students were pressured to change an 'Hawaiian Day' party to "Beach Day"

the Student Bar Association at the University of South Dakota School of Law changed the name of a Hawaiian Day themed party to Beach Day amid concerns from a fellow student that “Hawaiian Day” was not “inclusive.” The students had planned to serve punch and hand out flower garlands known as leis ahead of spring break, but they were told by administrators not to hand out leis.

University officials moved quickly to determine if the incident violated the Regents’ new policy on speech when USD president Sheila Gestring announced Saturday that the incident was under investigation. On Monday, Regents President Kevin V. Schieffer commended Gestring for looking into the incident.

“The board has made it very clear in policy that neither professors nor administrators can block or unduly interfere with free speech simply because some might find it offensive,” Schieffer said in a release Monday.
