As long as you give them advance notice...like saying that starting with the 2013-2014 school year, seniors will have to live out, I think it's fine.
In terms of the first, I guess an unflattering nickname was a poor choice of words. IU has a large Asian population, and when they move out of the dorms, they move to the on campus apartments...IU students in general thus avoid the on campus apartments like the plague. They're also extremely outdated.

Without knowing much about the specific culture of your school - I would agree with your first paragaph in that people as whole typically whine about changes to longstanding traditions and then adjust pretty well after the change go into effect.
As to the bolded - hmmm...I've lived in Pacific Rim states (Oregon/Washington) for 30 years now. A large percentage of our population is Asian or Asian-American and our universities reflect that. I can't say I haven't heard that sentiment but why would someone want to avoid apartments like a plague because a lot of Asian kids live there?
