The staff of the Technician apologizes for this mistake and regrets any confusion this may have caused for the readers.

In the page 1 article “Senate discusses new regulation,” News Editor Josh Harrell incorrectly reported that Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Stafford wrote the new student leader regulation. The regulation was actually drafted by members of Associate Vice Chancellor Evelyn Reiman’s staff, including Deb Luckadoo, director of Talley Student Center Activities, Mike Giancola, director of the Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service and Paul Cousins, director of the Office of Student Conduct. The regulation also elicited student feedback during the revision process.
Although Stafford did aid the Department of Student Affairs staff in the creation of the regulation and must give it his final approval, he was not one of the regulation’s major authors. As such, it would not necessarily have been important for him to speak on the regulation at Wednesday night’s Student Senate meeting.
