We ran a story a couple weeks ago about the GRAND OPENING PARTY to be held the following weekend. We got a call from the media relations person: we got the story wrong, she said. When our reporter said she cited the info in a press release, the media relations person in essence admitted the university put out incorrect information. The real opening was January 2019. The party was to celebrate the partial opening.
