For the record

Correction: Because of a reporting error, a story in Saturday's Metro section about Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch's office renovations mistakenly used a previous mayor's nickname in reference to Koch. Koch has no widely used nickname.

Correction: Because of a reporting error, a Page One story yesterday about cost-cutting moves at Harvard University incorrectly stated that Brandeis University had asked its professors to voluntarily take a 1 percent salary reduction to avert layoffs. Members of Brandeis's Faculty Senate, not the school's administration, have raised the idea with colleagues.

Correction: Because of incorrect information provided by the city assessing department, a story in Tuesday's Metro section about the city seeking more money from nonprofit universities and hospitals gave an incorrect amount for the payments made in lieu of taxes by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to the City of Boston. The center paid $167,000 in fiscal 2008.

Correction: Because of a reporting error, the listed price for the Wayland house featured in a story in the Homes section on Sunday was incorrect. It is $659,000.
