...earlier verison of the Mar. 11 news article "College Dean Releases Ad Board Report" incorrectly stated the title of David R. Pilbeam as "Interim Dean of the College." In fact, he served as Interim Dean of FAS for a few months in 2007 but was soon thereafter appointed Dean of the College...

Her repeated criticism of her officers, often in front of lower-ranking crew members, was "contrary to the best interests of the ship and the Navy...
