On a campus that’s 89 percent white, a group of minority students created a video detailing their experience with racism at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

The film is called Inclusive Negligence. The 25-minute video detail instances of racism and inequality inside the classroom and on campus. 

It was played for faculty and staff Wednesday during UW-L Chancellor Joe Gow’s semester-opening remarks.

The video will be used around campus throughout the year to raise awareness.
