Reports of UNH Alumni Deaths Greatly Exaggerated

180px-T-Hall2.jpgIt seems that the University of New Hampshire should hire a better printer or something the next time they publish their annual alumni book. It was announced yesterday that the 2005 version of the UNH Alumni Directory mistakenly listed 500 of its alumni as deceased. The Dallas publishing company, PCI, made the unfortunate error but printed 2,000 copies of the book without realizing it (did they not have a proofreader on hand?). Of course, when the phone calls started trickling in from live alumni who were pronounced dead in the book, the University was fuming over the mistake. Don't worry everyone, the error will be fixed in a newly printed directory and all will be well in Durham. Bostonist was mostly just shocked over the fact that people actually shell out $79 for an alumni directory. . . and does this mean that those listed as "deceased" don't have to pay off their student loans?
