In a news story Tuesday (“GOP campaign managers slim on details at Harvard,” page 1), it was incorrectly stated due to an editing error that a student asked a McCain campaign adviser a question about being the “face of Iraq.” The person who asked the question was Mark Halperin, the forum’s moderator.

In a news story Wednesday (“Higher ed reps hope for more funds in FY08,” page 1), the name of the chancellor and chief executive officer of the Massachussetts Board of Higher Education was misspelled due to an editing error. Her name is Patricia Plummer. Also in the article, it was implied that Plummer was calling for $2 billion in operating costs for higher education in the 2008 fiscal year budget. She was actually calling for a combined $2 billion in operating budget and bonds because bonds were cut from Patrick’s proposal.

In a news story yesterday (“UMass club looks to set green example,” page 3), it was incorrectly stated due to a reporting error that the UMass Sustainability Club was given credit for many environmental programs. While the Sustainability Club has brought attention to environmental issues on the university’s campus, the Office of Sustainability, UMBe Green, is responsible for the environmental campaigns wrongly attributed to the Sustainability Club in the article.

In Sarah Chandonnet’s column Wednesday (“Additional props: U.S. passport,” page 3), it was incorrectly stated due to a reporting error that the United States declared English as its official language. The government has not mandated a federal language. Also in the column, it was stated due to a reporting error that 0.25 percent of France’s population is fluent in English. This figure came from an unreliable study from 1999.
