Any locals able to fill in some of the gaps in the story? It seems there was some kind of (Christmas?) "carol" that enraged the campus because it was based on truths about affirmative action &c.

This parody was published in a student publication:
O Come All Ye Black Folk (sung to the tune of O Come All Ye Faithful)

O Come All Ye Black Folk
Boisterous, yet desirable
O come ye, O come ye to out university
Come and we will admit you,
Born in to oppression;
O come, let us accept them,
O come, let us accept them,
O come, let us accept them,
Fifty-Two black freshmen.

O sing, gospel choirs,
We will accept your children,
No matter what your grades are F's D's or G's
Give them privileged status; We will welcome all.
O come, let us accept them,
O come, let us accept them,
O come, let us accept them,
Fifty-Two black freshmen.

All come! Blacks, we need you,
Born into the ghetto.
O Jesus! We need you now to fill our racial quotas.
Descendents of Africa, with brown skin arriving:
O come, let us accept them,
O come, let us accept them,
O come, let us accept them,
Fifty-two black freshmen
