Tory rumor of Malkiel's firing proven false
Following categorical denials by University officials, the Princeton Tory has officially apologized for a post on its blog alleging that Dean of the College Nancy Malkiel?s appointment had not been renewed by the executive committee of the University Board of Trustees.?We recognize how frustrating and insulting it must have been for Dean Malkiel to have heard of this false report, and we cannot apologize enough for this unfortunate incident,? Joel Alicea ?10, current publisher of the Tory, wrote in an explanation on the Tory?s blog.The author of the original post, Matt Schmitz ?08, did not have the authorization of the conservative student publication?s current leadership to write the post, Alicea said in an interview with The Daily Princetonian.Alicea succeeded Schmitz as the publisher of the Tory in February.Schmitz posted on the blog again after it was clear that his information was false, deleting his first statement and replacing it with one saying that ?the Tory?s sources, who declined to be named, are now unable to stand by their claim that Dean Malkiel?s employment was not renewed.?Alicea decided an official explanation to the campus community was also necessary.
