‘Hunting Ground’ Updated

The filmmakers behind “The Hunting Ground” -- a searing new documentary about how colleges mishandle cases of campus sexual assault -- have removed a statement featured in an earlier print of the film that claimed leaders at 35 institutions declined to be interviewed. When the documentary premiered to rave reviews at the Sundance film festival last month, it concluded with the claim that the "presidents or chancellors of UNC, Harvard, Notre Dame, Florida State, Berkeley, Occidental and more than 35 other schools all declined to be interviewed for this film." Some critics, including at The New York Times, interpreted the phrase to mean that no senior college officials agreed to appear in the documentary.
