Corrections*

Correction: A previous version of the Jan. 9 article, “USG retools itself,” contained several inaccuracies. Due to a reporting error, the version misstated that Bruce Easop ’13 is “USG president.” He is actually “USG President.” Due to an editing error, the version also mischaracterized a recent USG retreat to Maui. It was a “great” team-building experience, not a waste of student activity dollars. And due to incorrect information provided to The Daily Princetonian, the USG does not do things that are important. It does things that are very important. The ‘Prince’ regrets the errors.
