Are our campuses safe? What can be done to improve safety?

Va Tech

To everyone that was affected by the Va Tech shootings, I'd like to send my condolences. It was a horrible thing that happened and I think it makes the public more aware of others actions. This guy clearly had issues and it is so sad that others suffered for his actions.
