LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The University of Louisville apologized to the school's entire Hispanic community Thursday after a photo surfaced showing President James Ramsey among a group of staffers at a Halloween party dressed in matching stereotypical Mexican costumes.
They wore bushy mustaches and sombreros, and rattled maracas as they posed for the photo.
Ramsey's chief of staff, Kathleen Smith, issued a statement expressing "deep regret" over the incident.
"We made a mistake and are very sorry," she wrote, adding that the university pledges to train staff and engage with the campus over diversity and racial equality issues. "This event shows we have much more to learn about our community."

They must not have much to do at the university....to worry about things like this.
BS...Just more PC cr**
This country won’t last much longer.
insanity.....
When the heck did everyone get so sensitive about EVERY little thing?
For cryin’ out loud. It’s a Halloween costume.
Not at this rate. Rather worried, I am. /Yoda
Typical political correctness. You can’t acknowledge Mexicans exist unless you are one.
Everybody knows that the maracas are to be shaken by women, but really, they had to apologize over it?
Sorry, men can also shake maracas, but I found out they are not actually Mexican. I can see how the University must have been humiliated by the mistake.
These guys should have been dressed as Cubans, if they were going to shake their maracas.
2016 won’t be pretty, either.
One of the prettiest.
This is nuts!!
Often described as the most photogenic. Not bad in infrared and UV light either.
AMEN TO THAT!
At which point did universities lose their senseabilities ?
They claim they want "Diversity",.. yet they want everyone to think and act politically correct( PC), so they make group think so that
all are in one accord ,..to their way of thinking..only !
That's not diversity , ..that's bullying, control of others, and coercion
The term 'micro-aggression' doesn't exist in reality.
It exists only in the weak, twisted feeble mind of a perpatrator who wants to feel like they are a victim;
that way they can justify their own hostility.
It's just an excuse for their own aggresive , coercive ,and anti-civilized behavior .
It’s crazy. I can’t believe the idiots let these people destroy the country.
But they have. Good Lord Almighty.
And they continue the idiocy on a daily basis.
cannot offend the new demonrat mescans.
Was there anyone dressed up as a hillbilly?
How about a cowboy or God forbid an Indian!!!!!
What about a street bum. The depravity.
