No, it's even worse than that. It was called a niggerhead (descriptive term at the time, as explained by others) in a magazine in the 1920s, LITERALLY ONCE. Once. And not officially, by the University, either, but by some sort of scientific magazine...
Worse still, when they went looking for "evidence", they couldn't even find the article in question, so this is literally based on hearsay...
But honestly, what should really worry people here, is the power that this demonstrates. If the "black student society" agitates enough, they can convince the university board to literally do anything, no matter the logic, the grievance, or the cost, financial and otherwise... That's what should truly scare you, and I think that's a big part of why they did it. To prove a point, and as a show of power. :-S
