Suburban Philadelphia's Bryn Mawr College is now offering an apology for an email that's been called "fat shaming."

In a recent message to students - titled "Give a HOOT!" - the women's liberal arts college invited students with "elevated BMIs," or body-mass indexes, to join a "weight loss success program."

The 100 students who received the email were reportedly selected using records from the college's health center, which some saw as an invasion of privacy.
