CORRECTIONS

In the Sept. 17 article, “Police get body cam approval,” The Daily Iowan incorrectly reported that the camera worn on the night of the police bust was off. Sean Curtin said the default position for the camera is off and did not specify the camera status on that night. The Daily Iowan regrets this error.

In the Sept. 17 article “First UI Faculty Learning Community formed on campus,” The Daily Iowan incorrectly reported Cornelia Lang as saying, “I’m really committed to changing the fulfillment of general-education requirements.” Lang said, “I’m committed to offering some new courses that fulfill general education requirements that have multi-disciplinary themes.” In addition, it was incorrectly re- ported factulty members from Human Environment Interactions take part in the Faculty Learning Community. The name of the class is People and Environment: Technology, Culture, and Social Justice. The DI regrets this error.
