University tells students not to use the term "African-American" because it's now offensive

Actually, you shouldn't use the term "African-American" anyway, since almost every single person that calls themselves that isn't African-American at all. They're American. Their heritage/ancestry may be African-American, but they themselves are not.

I don't go around calling myself a "Polish-Irish-German-Chickasaw-Nordic-American" just because that's where some of my ancestors were from, I just call myself a "Texan".
