Just slip on black pants and a black tunic. In fact, let’s just mandate everyone must dress the same to promote unity.
I remember Mao had great success with his fasion forward thinking.

A man can dress up in “drag” as a woman, and people fawn over him. But let a man dress as another race and he is excoriated as a “Jim Crow” racist.

I’m beginning to think that we really should protect students from cultural appropriation. This would mean that we should no longer admit students of non-European descent to universities, a European invention, or permit them to vote, a distinctly European-derived political technology.

Seriously, universities before WWII spent a lot of time trying to “morally improve” their students. For example preventing male and female interaction unless under faculty chaperone, forbidding students from owning cars, and requiring students to live on campus and to be in their dorm by a particular time, with curfew. In many schools, undergraduates could not even marry.
The returning WWII vets put an end to that totalitarianism, and so schools were much freer places for a long time.
However, the impulse to control students’ lives is a strong one. At least before it was in the spirit of ‘Alma Mater’ (Caring Mother), but now it is a cross between the “control issues” of the administration and faculty, and crude leftist indoctrination.
Soon, the students will rebel by taking their social lives off campus. And the schools will retaliate (some already have), by decreeing that even off campus activities can be controlled by them. Eventually they will get back to trying to make campuses “minimum security educational experiences”, by forbidding students from leaving campus without permission.

UMass created the Simple Costume Racism Evaluation and Assessment Meter (or S.C.R.E.A.M.) so that students can evaluate how offensive their costume may be using this scale.Ooh! Ooh! I want to play! What are the approved score scales? I want my costume to be as offensive as humanly possible and need to know how to increase my score for maximum offensiveness!

These snowflakes think they'll get a job after graduation. Lotsa luck. Perhaps other relatively successful snowflakes can hire them.

>> Is/are the person/people youre mocking generally less powerful or more socially marginalized than you?<<
On college campuses these days, there is nobody more “socially marginalized” and with “less power” than straight, white, Christian men.

I don't know what your assessment of colleges is based upon. There are a wide variety of colleges, some ardently religious, which have the absolute right to set standards, and resulting rules, for students. There is nothing "totalitarian" about that.
It's not the making of rules that is the issue, it is the current PC nature of the rules that is the problem.
