CORRECTION on Thursday's UND nickname story

Jon Backes, president of the State Board of Higher Education, testified before the House Education Committee on Wednesday that he supported the legislative process concerning bills that would have UND retain the Fighting Sioux nickname, but he — like the board as a whole — was neutral on the bills. His position was characterized incorrectly in a story on Page 5A Thursday. Also, his first name was misspelled.
