In Monday's News Story, "Board of Visitors approves compensation for employees," the subheadline inaccurately implied that classified University employees will receive the 1.75 percent salary increase faculty will receive.Classified employees are not included in this part of the plan.
In Tuesday's News Story, "University ponders future tuition hike," it was inaccurately reported that the state has mandated that the University increase faculty salaries by 2.5 percent, and that the fourth and final year of funding state-mandated base budget adequacy requirements is next year. The state has set a policy target (not mandate) for a faculty pay raise of 2.25 percent (not 2.5 percent) and base adequacy requirements are standing targets (not mandates) for funding levels for a four year period.
In Tuesday's News Story, "BOV approves rate increase for housing," it was inaccurately reported that the Board of Visitors approved housing rate increases. The Board had a broad ranging discussion on multiple issues related to housing, but did not change housing rates.
In Wednesday's News Story, "Honor aims to secure credit option," it was reported inaccurately that students who have written bad checks will be immediately suspended, and, after 14 days, face honor charges. Suspension by the Dean of Students Office is actually a last resort option that only can occur well after a process normally longer than 14 days, and, after 14 days, Honor Charges are not automatically filed. It was also implied inaccurately that the Honor Committee is actively encouraging merchants to extend students credit.
In Wednesday's News Story, "University to upgrade main plant for heating," it was inaccurately reported that the project was influenced by last year's soot incident, that construction will start in 2004, that the plant has had past emissions violations and that certain materials requested by the Dept. of Environmental quality have not yet been provided by University officials. The soot incident had no bearing on the timing of the project, construction will start in April 2005, the plant has never had excess carbon emissions and all information requested by the DEQ has been provided by University officials.
