In the April 7 article “2009 Commencement Speakers” by Conor Hurley it was incorrectly stated that Ralph T. Perry ’51 is a trustee of the College.
Retraction:
In the April 7 forum article “Alcohol Is the Ultimate Enemy” by Romina Istratii, two sentences were lifted, without citation, from the March 30 NY Times article “Time and the Bottle” by Tim Kreider. Also, in the March 24 forum article “Religious Leaders Miss the Point” by Istratii, three sentences were plagiarized from the March 18 NY Times editorial “The Pope on Condoms and AIDS.” The editorial is referenced by Istratii but not directly quoted, as it should have been.
All of Istratii’s articles have been removed from this website until a more thorough investigation can be done, and she is no longer on staff. We deeply regret that this occurred and are reviewing both our staff training and editing procedures to ensure that it does not happen again.
Sincerely,
The Editors
