New York: A journalism school in the US has awarded 30 misspelled diploma degrees to its students.
Illinois university's Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communication recently gave 30 diplomas to graduates on which the word "integrated" was spelled without the 'n.'
Kit Fox, one of the 250 students who graduated from the school, tweeted a photo of her friend's diploma that showed the error, NBC Chicago reported.
Fox said students were viewing the error as "humorous." "We all took it in good humour," he said. "We're all really aware of the 'Medill F' so the jokes came easy."
The "Medill F" is a school tradition that gives students a failing grade for a factual error or misspelling.
Desiree Hanford, lecturer and director of undergraduate education at the school, said officials plan to issue new diplomas to the impacted students.
