According to the article, it was one of those "I'm sorry you were offended" non-apologies:

“I share the fundamental belief that women and men are equal, but also acknowledge that there are biological differences and circumstances in which these differences need to be recognized. That being said, it was never my intention to make anyone feel unwelcomed or disrespected, and for that I apologize,” Lummis said.

Not sure why that kind of politics made it into a commencement speech.
