Accuracy in our reporting is central to the Ubyssey’s mission. Every article is thoroughly fact-checked and edited multiple times by trained editors. That being said, mistakes are inevitable. The Ubyssey is committed to being transparent when this does occur. Whenever we find a mistake in an article that we ran, we will place it here, as well as append the article online, and run a correction in the following print edition if that article was also published in print. If you have any questions about our corrections policy or to point out any errors, please send an email to feedback@ubyssey.ca.

Teachers’ strike may force in-province UBC applicants to use Grade 11 marks
In the editing process, The Ubyssey inadvertently left out a quote by Second vice-president of the BC Teacher’s Federation, Glen Hansman, which read “I can’t guarantee that report cards are going to be issued, but marks will be available. That’s been the case all along…since September.” We regret the error.

Four research monkeys die in Parkinson’s experiment at UBC
An earlier version of this article implied a link between a 2010 progress report involving four monkeys that were to be “sacrificed to neuropathology” and the 2011 study in which four monkeys died, and quoted STOP Animal Research as claiming that the deaths may not have been an accident. Those events are unrelated. The article has been updated to reflect that fact. The Ubyssey regrets the error.
