Clarification
A story on Sunday’s 3A about a recent economic impact report on The Evergreen State College included information about a 2016 report on the economic impact of South Puget Sound Community College. In that report, the study showed that the total impact of SPSCC was $316.1 million.
Evergreen spokeswoman Sandra Kaiser said that information included alumni earnings of $269.5 million. If Evergreen’s impact was calculated the same way, including Evergreen alumni earnings of $535 million, Evergreen’s total impact rises to $736.7 million. Sunday’s story drew an inaccurate comparison using a lower impact amount that did not include alumni earnings.
