The conclusion was based on facts that we reported incorrectly in the story ‘PPC director calls all shots.’ ‘ ‘ ‘ We were wrong. The executive board director doesn’t have unchecked final authority, and administrators like program council adviser Tom Misuraca, Director of Student Life Kenyon Bonner and Dean of Students Kathy Humphrey hold ultimate power over the council’s decisions. ‘ ‘ ‘ The Pitt News regrets publishing the opinion.
