Corrections

The June 13, 2008 article about a graduate student facing charges for breaking and entering gave misleading information about the prison term he may face. Though a sentence of up to 20 years in state prison is allowed under Massachusetts General Law, the Massachusetts Sentencing Guidelines make it difficult to impose more than a one year sentence for a first-time offender.

The same article misspelled the name of graduate student Michael P. Shortโ€™s attorney. Short is represented by Steven J. Sack, not Fack. Sack also represented Kristina K. Brown โ€™09 when she faced similar charges after being found in the Faculty Club in the middle of the night in 2006.
