Really? You would have thought that an email asking you to be thoughtful about your Halloween costume was the university's attempt to control you?
I don't get any sort of implication that there would be institutional consequences for racism from the original email:

I get that there were students who allegedly complained to Christakis, and she was responding, in part, to that. I really believe that it is her duty, as a professor, an authority figure, and a white person, to help dismantle systems of oppression, and validating those students' complaints does just the opposite.
