University spending: An article in Sunday’s Section A about California universities’ use of money meant for classrooms and student services said a building purchased by a foundation affiliated with Cal State Sacramento was empty. According to a school spokeswoman, about a dozen events including lectures and a faculty retreat have been held in the 188,000-square-foot building since January. The article also misstated Jesse Bernal’s title. He is the University of California student regent, not UCLA student regent. In addition, former UCLA fundraiser Richard Bergman’s name was misspelled as Berman in one reference, and Cal State Sacramento President Alexander Gonzalez’s name was misspelled as Gonzales in one reference.
On-location filming: An article in the March 31 Business section about on-location filming in the L.A. area said filming activity in the first quarter rose about 25% overall for movie features, television and commercials, 6% for features and 19% for television. The correct gains for the first quarter were about 23% for overall activity, 3% for features and 17% for television.
