Last week we published an article on the front page titled “Fall 2004 Courses Analysis” which was regarded by many as offensive and tasteless. We here at The Vermont Cynic apologize for publishing what many within the UVM community considered an offensive article. The article was meant as a humorous look at the classes being offered next semester. We do not in any way condone misogyny, racism, or any other inherently damaging ideologies. It was not our aim to offend our readers. We are sorry if this caused confusion regarding the authenticity of any other articles in last week’s issue as it was the only article intended to be humorous. We hope this clears up any confusion regarding last week’s article. The Vermont Cynic Editorial Board
