Guests to Saturday's ceremony were handed a printed program that read, "Lyndon B. Johnson School of Pubic Affairs."
"Obviously, we are mortified. It's beyond embarrassing," Susan Binford, the school?s assistant dean for communications, told TheBlaze.com, which published a photograph of?the typo. ?As soon as we realized the mistake, everybody went into overdrive and we went to work to reprint it.?
