IOWA CITY (AP) -
The University of Iowa president has apologized for a remark she made to the student newspaper about sex assaults on campus.
In an interview published Feb. 18 in The Daily Iowan, President Sally Mason said she was dismayed by the reports of sexual assaults. She said "the goal would be to end that, to never have another sexual assault. That's probably not a realistic goal just given human nature, and that's unfortunate. ..."
Criticism erupted over the phrase that includes "human nature."
The Iowa City Press-Citizen says Mason apologized during a President's Forum on Tuesday.
Mason said she's been told by several people in the campus community that her remark was hurtful. She said she was "very, very sorry for any pain that my words might have caused."
