There's no need for Northwestern's campus to make excuses for what the Ski Team wrought during its Beer Olympics. The party's costumes were offensive and unacceptable. It's encouraging that NU students and administrators are talking about where we go from here. There's ample space for introspection in this incident, and making people on campus examine themselves and their implicit assumptions should be a constant part of campus life.
