Correction: Because of a reporting error, a story in yesterday's Business section about
Correction: Because of reporting errors, a story in the Nov. 9 Metro section about three hate messages recently received at Simmons College included several incorrect statements about the nature and timing of those incidents. The two most recent incidents - which involved a racist note slipped under a black student's door and racist language written on the wall outside another black student's door - occurred on Thursday, Nov. 6, not Tuesday, Nov. 4. The college reported no such incident involving a slur against homosexuals, although three students said one of the messages also included anti-gay language. None of the hate messages was written on a whiteboard, according to college officials. And college president Helen Drinan did not say that she had increased the number of campus security details in a Nov. 5 e-mail to students. In a Nov. 7 e-mail to the community, she said that she was committed to "ensuring that Simmons has the necessary security on campus." Because of incorrect information provided to the reporter by a member of the Student Government Association, the story also misstated the date of a sit-in that was planned on campus. That sit-in occurred Friday, Nov. 14.
