My university is forcing me to take down a Christmas/holiday display. How can I stop them?

I live in a University apartment, which has a balcony. Early in the year, we were informed that we are not allowed to go on the balcony. When applying for housing we have to sign a contract that says we have to abide by our student code of conduct. In this document, I found no mention of the balcony issue specifically. Regardless I decided that I would respect resident life's wishes and not go on the balcony.

Fast-forward three months and it is the holiday season. I decorated my balcony with Christmas lights and a small inflatable snowman. Not a day later (tonight), I was informed by my RAs (students) that I need to take down the lights immediately. I was kind and asked why, and they replied that the Resident Director deemed them a safety hazard. I found this kind of outlandish and asked to speak with him personally. The meeting will be set up in the very near future.

Here is a relevant section from our student handbook on safety.

"Safe conditions: No student shall create a safety or health hazard or nuisance in any residence hall. Examples of prohibited behavior include, but are not limited to: the possession or use of fog machines, excessive accumulation of garbage or filth in rooms, suites, hallways or lounges; changes in electrical wiring; lofts; homemade beds, water beds, or other unapproved constructions; additional items or acts as may be prohibited by the Director of Residence Life. The maximum occupancy for any residential area shall not exceed two guests per resident living in the room."

Do I have a chance at keeping up my display? If so, do you guys have any suggestions or arguments (respectable) that may help my case?

Additional information: Lights are indoor/outdoor, same with snowman. I am at a public university in Mass

EDIT: Picture of the display...nothing too crazy
