In last week’s page A1 news article titled “Andover Goes Need-Blind,” Secretary of the Academy Peter Ramsey is incorrectly paraphrased as saying that discussion with Trustees and potential benefactors of Andover’s capital campaign prompted the Trustees’ vote on need-blind admission. Instead, Ramsey said that Senior Administrative Council meetings and a discussion by the executive committee of the Board of Trustees led to the vote.
The headline for a news article on page B1 in The Phillipian last week, “PA Technology Updated Every 4 Years; Old Equipment Donated to Charity,” did not accurately reflect the process by which old computers are given to charity. Only if no other place on campus needs the computers, nor do any students on financial aid, are they given to the Institution Recycling Network (I.R.N.). The I.R.N. then sells the computers and gives the school a portion of the sales money.
A news article in The Phillipian three weeks ago on the failed Abbot proposal by John Grunbeck ’09, titled “Student Proposal for Hot-Food Vending Machine Falters in Face of Aramark, Health Issues and Cost,” misstated the context of a passage from the proposal. The printed excerpt was not the original submission and was instead the revised proposal in its entirety.
On the front page of Sports last week, Anthony Morlani’s class was misstated as the class of 2008. He is in the class of 2009.
A quote in the Commentary feature on advising last week was incorrectly attributed to Andrew Clay ’08. The correct speaker was Okyeraa Ohene-Asah ’09.
