The Daily apologizes for inaccurate word choice on front page of Sept. 20 print edition

On the front page of the Sept. 20 print edition of The Daily, there was text accompanying a headline with the words 'sexual assault' rather than 'sexual harassment.'

This was an egregious mistake and we would like to offer our apologies to the OU community, the members of the College of Fine Arts and Tom Orr for this error. 

The Daily prides itself on accuracy and professionalism, and we regret this mistake and the confusion it may cause. 

The front-page story itself is a round-up of news since the publishing of an original OU Daily article Sept. 17 with student allegations of sexual harassment against School of Drama professor Tom Orr. The information in the body of the Sept. 20 print story is accurate, as well as the information in the OU Daily articles online and previously in print. 

The Daily has reached out to the offices of Tom Orr, Dean of the College of Fine Arts Mary Margaret Holt and OU's public affairs office to notify them of the error and apologize directly. 

We are collecting the print edition of our paper and bringing it to our newsroom to mitigate any damages. We will also be issuing a correction in the Sept. 24 print edition. 

If community members have questions or concerns, please send them to kaylabranch@ou.edu.
