Violence on Campus
S
Students Who Are a Danger to Self or
Others and Appropriate Institutional Responses
A daylong symposium on Nov. 6 explored recent violence on college campuses from the perspective of psychology, medical science and the law. Keynote speaker Lucinda Roy (pictured at left), professor of English at Virginia Tech, discussed her close association with Seung-Hui Cho, the young man she tutored who later killed 32 people on Virginia Tech’s campus in 2007. She said, “There is no more urgent issue we face in higher education than this one. Violence on campus is no longer an isolated phenomenon.” The symposium was sponsored by the Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice, the Frances Lewis Law Center and Barbri.
