In the Sept. 11 Golden Gater, the page 6 photo caption suggested Oskar Feskon owned the lunch wagon at 19th Avenue and Holloway Avenue. Although Feskon is a member of the family that owns the wagon, he is not the owner.
In the Sept. 16 Golden Gater, Troy Buckner-Nkrumah was identified in the story "Jewish studies gets SF State's first endowed chair," as being a part-time lecturer in the college of ethnic studies. However, according to the dean of the college of ethnic studies, Phillip McGee, Buckner-Nkrumah does not teach an ethnic studies class.
The Gater's information came from a flyer circulated by Buckner-Nkrumah promoting his class, which said the class was being offered through the ethnic studies department. He also told his students that the class was offered through the ethnic studies department.
According to a student in his class, Buckner-Nkrumah is still teaching the class but told students Tuesday that it was a special studies course.
In the same article, Richard Goldman was identified as a former member of the president's advisory council. Goldman, according to SF State's public affairs department, is still a member of the president's advisory council.
Also in that article, an editing error misrepresented Jim Collier's comment on coincidental timing. Collier, vice president of university advancement, actually said that the $1 million donation and a campus speech by Khallid Muhammad were coincidental.
