While , even going so far as to , President Sexton himself did not respond to any of Â鶹´«Ã½IOS’s repeated entreaties until after we wrote to NYU’s Board of Trustees. The statements attributed to President Sexton in the Â鶹´«Ã½IOS Update are contained in his August 15, 2006 letter to Â鶹´«Ã½IOS, and were not made by him prior to that date. We apologize for the error.
