Retraction from Last Issue’s Article on Elon Musk

In the previous issue of the Iron Warrior I wrote an article titled “Elon Musk and the Lack of Women at Waterloo Engineering” which included a quote from student, Alison Lee. This quote was not intended for publication and did not present a complete and accurate representation of Alison’s views. I would like to officially retract the statement from my article. I want to make it clear that the opinions presented in that article were solely mine. Furthermore, I discussed a group called UW WISTEM (Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) started by Alison. To clarify, UW WISTEM is a student founded group meant to provide a space for undergraduate students studying in the STEM fields to discuss gender issues, career options/barriers and promote diversity. If you’re interested in finding out more about UW WISTEM or joining you can find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/UWWiSTEM.
