Kansas chemistry prof investigated for 'cultural appropriation after
dressing like Michael Jackson and dancing at Halloween party
Holly O'Neil, who is also the interim assistant dean of the College of Arts and
Science, allegedly performed a dance while Jackson's song "Thriller" played,
according to the Washburn Review.
The fourth annual Halloween party on October 27 where she performed was
organized by the English department of the university.
Video of the appropriation incident was posted to Facebook but quickly
deleted.
“Washburn University is reviewing concerns raised about a costume worn by
an employee to an on-campus Halloween party Thursday, Oct. 27," Hutchinson wrote.
"We are gathering information and hearing perspectives from the students,
faculty and staff who were involved and have been affected before
developing a response to the situation." she added. "Washburn’s
commitment to an inclusive campus community will be an important part of
this review process." but mainly we are worried about getting any blame.
