Editor’s note: This story has been removed by the editors because it violates our content policies. After press time Collegian editors discovered that its author has been involved in publicity efforts by the subject of the story, an obvious conflict of interest. The story has been removed but this post remains, with this explanation, as a gesture of transparency.
The Massachusetts Daily Collegian takes its responsibility to provide the campus with ethical, balanced coverage of campus events and issues very seriously. Running a story about an organization written by a member of that organization without disclosing their affiliation is an egregious ethical lapse, and we promise to work harder to prevent similar instances in the future.
Please understand that we are a student-run organization and, in addition to covering this campus as best we can, we are all learning as we go along.
The Collegian would like to formally apologize to our readership for this oversight. We can do better, and you deserve better.
S.P. Sullivan
Managing Editor.
