NEW YORK — In a story published April 23, 2024, about Gaza war protests at colleges, The Associated Press erroneously reported, based on information from Yale University President Peter Salovey, that 60 protesters, including 47 students, were arrested there. Yale officials corrected the numbers Wednesday to 48 arrests total, four of them not Yale students.
