As for clothing optional activities, what upside can compensate for the downside of offending some, including prospective students?



Nobody’s forced to partake. If prospective students can’t handle a bunch of people going off and doing a voluntary activity that doesn’t harm them, maybe they should go to a school with less freedom and tolerance of eccentricity.

Pretty much everything offends somebody. The ROTC offends some subset of prospective students/parents. Pro-choice and pro-life student groups offend some subset. So do gay rights groups. Various campus religious groups offend some subset - should a school not allow a pagan students’ group because it might offend Christian prospectives (or vice-versa, though any pagan kid in this country who isn’t used to the idea of Christians by college age must be very sheltered)? I don’t see any need for “compensation” for this supposed downside.
