FILE – In this Oct. 31, 2015 file photo, Temple fans, some in Halloween costumes, cheer during an NCAA college football game against Notre Dame in Philadelphia. Administrators at some universities across the country are increasingly concerned in 2017 that certain costumes are becoming flash points in the campus debate over race and culture. While not outright prohibiting any costume, administrators are using letters, campus forums and advertising campaigns to encourage students to pick outfits that don’t offend their classmates of color.
