The University of Wisconsin is apologizing for a homecoming video that touted diversity on campus but showed few students of color. The video was posted Sunday and taken down Monday due to immediate criticism from alumi and students online. U-W said in a statement, “We know that, both historically and today, students of color and other under-represented groups do not feel as welcome on our campus as majority students. As a community, we must commit to and invest in ways to change this.” The homecoming committee said on Facebook we are sorry that our video failed to show the full breadth of the university experience and made members of our community feel excluded. Around 70 percent of the student population in Madison is white.
