CORRECTION
Institution misidentified in infractions appeals report
A headline in the April 1 issue of The NCAA News incorrectly identified Jacksonville State University in a case considered by the Division I Infractions Appeals Committee.
The case actually involved Jacksonville University.
NATIONAL OFFICE
Indianapolis clocks match Central time through October
When other states in the Eastern time zone changed to Daylight Saving Time on April 7, most of Indiana -- including Indianapolis, home of the NCAA national office -- did not "spring forward."
Through October, Indiana time will be the same as Central Daylight Time. For the rest of the year, Indiana time will match Eastern time.

GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
Reynolds assumes role as OCR head for education department
Gerald Reynolds has taken office as the assistant secretary of education for civil rights, a position that oversees the enforcement of Title IX and a variety of civil rights legislation.
President Bush used what is known as a "recess appointment" to appoint Reynolds and four other nominees to their posts, bypassing the Senate confirmation process. Those who have been recess-appointed will hold their offices until the next session of Congress is seated in January 2003.
Reynolds must receive Senate confirmation early in 2003 to continue at the post.
