The article UMass Officials Talk Housing with Planning Board, which first appeared in the Indy on October 25, 2023 under the headline, “UMass Officials Say University Is About Average in Housing Its Students”, misquoted UMass official Tony Maroulis in regard to the percentage of UMass students living in campus housing in relation to other flagship state universities. Maroulis said that the percentage of students housed in campus housing at UMass is between 60 and 65%, which is above average for large public univerisities. He added, “So, as a percentage, I think that we are in the top five or six of institutions of our size and the number of students that we house.”
