this line of argument is absurd.

If that was the concept at hand you would be correct, only it isn't.
The issue is were these workshops racist in their ideas and presumptions, and were students required to embrace and teach these racist ideas.
The only point of contention is were the issues as presented by the OP valid or were they fabricated. Based on just how quickly the university reacted in canceling the program for review I would guess there the claims were at least partially valid.
Seeing what was openly available on the campus web site, I see no reason to doubt that the original post is accurate. My guess is whoever was in charge of this at the university got a little to activist and a little less educational in their thinking. Being this was not related to a class but just for living in the dorms it seems a bit unreasonable if the students couldn't 'opt out'.
