A student group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has apologized after producing a video touting diversity that shows nearly all white students.

The UW-Madison Homecoming Committee issued the apology on Monday, after the video it posted to Facebook the day prior sparked outrage and backlash.

'We represent 127 countries and all 50 states,' the video's narrator says. 'We have broken barriers, made changes and can say that home is forever and always where we are.'

The organizers behind the video asked for, but then failed to include, footage from a historically black sorority, the Epsilon Delta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, according to university senior Payton Wade.

'Not only were we not featured no Black students were featured but instead they choose to show videos of people's butts as they jumped into the lake,' Wade wrote in a Facebook post.

'Being Black at this school is a daily struggle both mentally and physically,' Wade added.

In a statement, the Homecoming Committee wrote: 'To promote student Homecoming, we recently produced a video called 'Home is where Wi Are', and we invited various student groups to participate in the video.'

'Unfortunately, not all the video images produced were included in the final product, including those of students from under represented populations,' the statement said.

'We are sorry that our video failed to show the full breadth of the university experience and made members of our community feel excluded,' the committee said.

One black student expressed outrage that the video showed 'videos of people's butts as they jumped into the lake' instead of her historically black sorority

A crowd shot does not show the teeming diversity that the video boasts of. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is 67% white, while the state of Wisconsin as a whole is 87% white

'We appreciate being made aware of the impact of the video. We apologize to those students who participated in the video but were not included in the final product, as well as to anyone who was upset by the video.'

Wade said in an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle that she had experienced many micro-aggressions at UW-Madison, and had considered leaving the school her senior year.

She recalled one encounter with a resident assistant there who told her, 'If you want to keep living here, you're gonna have to get it together. I know people like you are loud.'
