Oh good grief.
The charcoal smeared on the girls' faces was clearly not "blackface." This was a theme party parodying a couple of pop culture cartoons, whose fame is in large part (no pun intended) based on their cartoonish image. It seems to me that students who have ample backsides have more reason to be offended, but that wouldn't provoke protests, inflammatory headlines, or any attention from the admin.
Habitually-offended people and/or groups who seek to find offense (or stretch the facts to create a situation that doesn't exist) do a lot more to provoke eye-rolls than further the cause they claim to represent.
What the university needs to be concerned about now is the harassment and threats targeting students who attended the party.
And meanwhile at UCLA, the Bruin Leaders Project has dozens of service outreach projects in place that actually do put boots on the ground toward social change. These won't incite protests or sensational headlines, and involve a lot more commitment than bitching about being offended by a Greek theme party, but these will actually matter next month:
