Tech. I&#39;ve been watching the irksome news coverage. Death is always sad, but the silver lining is that it brings people together. Solidarity is why people are so compelled to tune in, and while Facebook has been great for that, the media sucked. Facebook may be prone to rumors, but you can tell who&#39;s missing and who to be concerned about. The media, however, have been eking out widespread political implications of this tragedy, instead of bringing people together. This event does have political ramifications, but the media has missed the mark by saying things like, in a nutshell, "He was born in a different country! Let&#39;s make this about immigration, despite the fact that most of his formative experiences were here in the US because he had lived here legally since he was eight!" Or there&#39;s "How on earth could this psycho get a gun? Well, it was a completely mundane, legal purchase, and he bought it with &#39;chilling simplicity.&#39; Let&#39;s interview the merchant and harp on gun control!" Even on a 24-hour network, there are no gray areas in politics, so their coverage is ill-suited even for the wider audience. Gun control and free speech may be slippery slopes, but when free speech demonstrates a violent psychosis, how about a little gun control? I hate to be blunt, but we all know the Cho type, and as individuals, we should reach out like the teacher did. As a campus policy, I&#39;m not suggesting that loners should be branded on the forehead, but when a kid confuses fantasy and reality, expresses violent fantasies and suicidal thoughts, and finally gets sent to the counseling center while you&#39;ve got him in the straightjacket, confiscate his registered guns.

By: Karyn Meshbane // Assistant News Editor Posted: 4/20/07 Monday morning&#39;s shooting rampage at Virginia Tech, the deadliest such incident in American history, has forced colleges and universities around the country, including the University of Miami, to reevaluate on-campus security. Once news broke of Monday&#39;s events, UM&#39;s Police Department and administrators reacted within hours. President Donna E. Shalala sent out a statement on Monday afternoon to all students concerning the Virginia Tech tragedy and spoke of a crisis plan, while David A. Rivero, director of public safety, increased police presence in order to avert a possible copycat incident. "We immediately communicated with everybody that&#39;s on our emergency response plan so that everybody knew what was happening," Rivero said. "We increased our force by doubling the amount of cops, and we hired extra security guards to give students, faculty and UM employees an extra sense of safety." Rivero traveled to Tallahassee on Monday for a meeting with all police chiefs from the ACC schools to discuss security concerns and plans at the other universities. Officers from the Coral Gables Police Department have also been hired to patrol campus. Security Response Three weeks ago, Rivero met with SG President Danny Carvajal and decided to create the University of Miami Police Advisory Board. Rivero said the advisory board would revolve around student participation to offer an alternate perspectives on possible security vulnerabilities. Carvajal appointed Matthew Shpiner, vice president of operations for the &#39;Canes Emergency Response (a organization comprised of students who assist the university in times of disaster preparation and recovery), as the chair of the University of Miami Police Advisory Board. Shpiner plans to have an official meeting this week to discuss the board&#39;s goals and plan a response to the Virginia Tech shootings. Alan Fish, the vice president of Business Services, said the university is adequately prepared for a similar emergency on campus, based on the Emergency Preparedness Plan. "We&#39;ve had a crisis management plan since the late &#39;80s, which is constantly evolving every year as issues like [Virginia Tech] come up or technology changes," he said. Fish also told The Miami Hurricane the crisis plan includes a small emergency response team that includes a few "key" administrators, such as Shalala and Provost Thomas LeBlanc, who can meet on a moments notice. After the emergency response team meets, decisions are relayed to the crisis decision team, which includes approximately 100 people who carry out the smaller team&#39;s desired plan. The larger crisis decision team is made up of representatives from 57 major areas of the university, such as the various colleges,, medical campus, Department of Public Safety, the Department of Residence Halls and Auxiliary Services. The decision team last met during hurricane season to decide a course of action, which included sending an e-mail notification to students that classes were cancelled as a result of Hurricane Ernesto. Fish said a similar e-mail notification system would be used to warn students in the case of other types of threats. Patricia A. Whitely, vice president for Student Affairs, and Gilbert Arias, assistant vice president for Student Affairs, said they encourage all students to update their cell phone numbers at myum.miami.edu so the university is able to send out voicemails and text messages to all students in the case of a crisis. Currently only 4,600 of roughly 15,670 students have updated their cell phone numbers. In 1996, Hurricane linebacker Marlin Barnes was beaten to death in his on-campus apartment. Whitely, who was the director of Student Life at the time, said UM increased security immediately after that incident and followed the crisis plan UM had at the time. She noted the emergency plan UM uses now has been drastically updated since then, but whether a crisis is large or small, the decision team follows the same guidelines. Shalala also noted in her statement that the Rosentiel and medical campuses also have emergency response procedures. Annie Reisewitz of Media Relations said RSMAS has security during operating hours and no unauthorized persons are allowed on campus. Whitely also noted that both the RSMAS and medical campuses have a comprehensive plan that follows the Disaster Preparation and Recovery Plan on UM&#39;s website. Comparative Perspective Because most college campuses in the United States are sprawling by design with large open areas and free access to buildings that house classrooms, the use of unconventional security devices has been utilized by universities such as John Hopkins and Princeton. Johns Hopkins uses a "smart" video camera technology that employs computer algorithms to detect suspicious actions such as a person climbing a fence or loitering around a window. The university currently has 101 "smart" cameras installed on the main campus. At Princeton, professors and university officials are trained to spot depression and are told to contact mental health services when a student may need help. Also, after Columbine, many U.S. high schools installed metal detectors, though colleges and universities did not follow suit. Fish said UM is not planning to add security measures such as metal detectors or "smart" cameras, but he noted the university&#39;s crisis team does convene annually to have an "awareness meeting" to discuss issues that may impact the crisis plan. Furthermore, Arias emphasized that during times of crisis the Department of Public Safety, located in the Flipse Building, is staffed around-the-clock by members of the Division of Student Affairs and the Office of Communications, who may be reached via the Hurricane Hotline at 305-284-5151. "We constantly update the hotline and the website," Arias said. He added that in times of crisis, such as hurricanes, "We even sleep at [the Department of] Public Safety to be available for students and parents in case they have any questions."

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Sara Hood Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Matthew Bunch Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007-08-09 Description An account of the resource By: Matthew Bunch Issue date: 4/20/07 We&#39;ve all been rocked and saddened this week by the tragedy in Blacksburg. Despite our fierce rivalry with the Hokies, we all are college students and share a common bond. One thing I noticed over these past few days has been the media coverage, blanketing the campus and interviewing everyone possible. I began to wonder, what kind of coverage would be done if something like that happened here? The Rock would be swarmed with media, so students would of course have to move any vigil they would like to hold to some other venue. The BankUnited Center would be rented out, so I&#39;m sure students couldn&#39;t go there either. The blame would go immediately to the football team. Sports pundits like Bill Plaschke and Mark May would call for the athletic department to be carpet-bombed, and the immediate arrest of every athlete on campus. Surely, if it happened at UM and it was bad, it&#39;s the athletic department&#39;s fault. Next would be the criticism of university president Donna Shalala, citing her time with the Clinton administration. Surely, without his passing of the Brady Bill, students could have been armed with Uzis and handled the gunman themselves. Ultimately, the public at large will decide that this kind of thing is just what happens in Miami; it&#39;s "Thug U," so why should we be surprised? How can I make these assumptions? Because the same kind of reaction is unleashed whenever this university is faced with tragedy. Bryan Pata&#39;s murder was used by the media to attack the University of Miami. Just look at MSNBC&#39;s Mike Celizic, who said this after Pata&#39;s murder: "And so, it really doesn&#39;t matter why Pata was shot or by whom. He played for the Hurricanes. He died violently. If it happened at Ohio State, we&#39;d be shocked. But at Miami, a lot of people will say it&#39;s not even a surprise: when you recruit thugs, such things happen." Of course, it was the university&#39;s fault. By recruiting guys other teams had given up on, someone came and shot Pata. Look at the Willie Cooper/Brandon Meriweather shooting last summer. Cooper and Meriweather, noticing a suspicious vehicle circling their house, investigated. They were shot at. Meriweather returned fire in defense, with a registered gun. What was the response from the media? "Let&#39;s get Miami." Instead of worrying about the status of Cooper, it became a pile-on. Remove Cooper and Meriweather from the team, put Miami on probation, and what else can we do to them? So what is the point? Is the coverage that important? Don&#39;t most people tune out the media anyway? As I&#39;ve been watching the coverage, I have felt such compassion for Virginia Tech. That university needs everyone now, as they grieve and try to move on. As I came to the realization about what would happen at Miami, I grew scared. Would anyone be there in our time of need? As time went by, I came to a realization: they probably wouldn&#39;t.

The gentle breeze ever so slightly rustled the branches that hang over the University Center Rock as Shajena Erazo, the Student Government executive secretary, read the names of the fallen. A line of 33 student leaders clutched candles lit to memorialize each of the victims, in addition to the gunman. They faced hundreds of their peers, who packed the area between The Rock and the UC to pay their respects, also holding candles. UM President Donna E. Shalala offered her sympathies and repeatedly emphasized the two ACC universities were very much the same. "Tonight we are Virginia Tech. We share their horror and their grief," she said. "Tonight we are Virginia Tech. We are their brother and their sisters." At the end of her remarks, Shalala let out three words that reverberated in Blacksburg a day earlier as thousands chanted: "Let&#39;s go Hokies." Akin to how she began the chant earlier in the day at the Hug the Lake event, Shalala slowly enlivened the crowd to speak in unison as candles glimmered and wax dripped onto cut up paper cups. SG President Danny Carvajal spoke prior to Shalala, saying the university was there for Virginia Tech-a sister school. "We are confident Virginia Tech will heal and prevail," he said. Carvajal also asked students to sign a banner and a scrapbook to be sent to Va. Tech with the baseball team this weekend (please see pg. 19). -- Original Source:<a href=http://media.www.thehurricaneonline.com/media/storage/paper479/news/2007/04/20/News/Um.Honors.Fallen.Hokies.At.Vigil-2871059.shtml>The Miami Hurricane - April 20, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Greg Linch <greglinch@gmail.com> Title A name given to the resource UM honors fallen Hokies at Vigil candlelight vigil outreach sympathy university of miami vigil Document A resource containing textual data.

Her speech centered on prevailing in the aftermath of the April 17th tragedy, while touching on recurrent worldwide tragedies like children dying of AIDS (among other things). The underlying message that came from the lips of Giovanni was not only for those directly affected by the tragedy, but for all mankind, for all time. The whole concept of prevailing in tragedy is not new, yet many do not know how to prevail when faced with tragedy. It (tragedy) prompts many to question God&#39;s motive for allowing &#39;bad&#39; things to happen in our lives (and around the world). We ask God... • Why didn&#39;t you stop the Virginia Massacre? • Why do you allow so many innocent people to die in Iraq? • Why did you allow my friend to die? • Why did you allow my daughter to get pregnant? The reality is that we live in an evil world and until the end of time, there will be terrorist attacks, wars, hurricanes, shootings and starvation. This may be hard for some to hear, but God never promised to protect us from harm, but He promised help us deal with harm, He promised to help us deal with difficult situations, He promised to give us the tools to help others who have experienced tragedy, He promised to help us Prevail! <b><i>What makes the difference is our response (how Faith and Community helps)</i></b> Great leaps of spiritual awareness and community swept our nation in the aftermath of September 11th and I believe that this is what helps heal the emotional wounds that were opened up that day. In the same way, Faith and Community is helping heal the wounds that were opened on April 17th. The heroism that we witness during and after tragedies is an example of how courage, love, and goodness can show their faces in the midst of evil and suffering, in consequence, healing many broken hearts. The same principle applies on a local level. Faith and Community helps us prevail when we are facing individual tragedies. To this end, in the words of Nikki Giovanni: <i>"we are strong and brave and innocent and unafraid. We are better than we think, not quite what we want to be. We are alive to the imagination and the possibility we will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears, through all this sadness."</i> In the midst of tragedy, we can prevail!

Needless to say, the tragedy that took place on Monday at Virginia Tech, in which a student opened fire on classmates and professors, has left some players pondering things other than baseball. "Our prayers and thoughts are with them," first baseman Yonder Alonso said. "It is just so hard to believe. I am sure their guys are thinking about it today and will be for the rest of the year. It is one of the worst things that ever happened in the country, so it is hard to deal with." While the &#39;Canes will travel to Blacksburg for a three game series this weekend, it is clear that the events have now become somber, and once again the role of sports as a healing power in America will be taken on. "It is hard for them to have to deal with it, but I feel like one of the best things is to play the game," Alonso said. The kinship felt between ballplayers at any two schools is generally strong, but this series is full of personal connections. Alonso said that he is good friends with the Hokies&#39; catcher and sent him an email as soon as he heard what had happened. The situation also hit home for starting pitcher Enrique Garcia, who said that he has close friends at the school whom he was frightened for. However, Garcia seems to share Alonso&#39;s opinion, which also seems to be the team consensus, that the series is a good thing. "I am excited for the series," Garcia said. "I think it will definitely help to play, not just for the players, but as a nice distraction for the whole community." Head Coach Jim Morris will present a signed banner and $10,000 check for the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund. The team is also having special wristbands made for the series and will travel with extra security. -- Original Source:<a href=http://media.www.thehurricaneonline.com/media/storage/paper479/news/2007/04/20/Sports/Players.Team.React.To.Tragedy-2871193.shtml>The Miami Hurricane - April 20, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The Miami Hurricane Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Greg Linch <greglinch@gmail.com> Title A name given to the resource Players, team react to tragedy baseball players react university of miami Document A resource containing textual data.

The issue, of course, is campus security. One can debate for hours whether or not Va. Tech&#39;s administration did enough to protect the students that fateful morning, but there is no question students should be protected. College campuses are like their own little world-they are microcosms that, quite simply, operate on their own plane. University students and faculty operate on their own schedules, through their own methods, based on their own values and with their own sets of characters, players, movers and shakers. Considering this, it is easy to forget that college campuses are not actually physically removed from the world and, as such, are at least as vulnerable to the dangers, sorrow and violence that go with it (perhraps even more so, due to their open and accessible nature). Thus, a dilemma: Adding too much security, or restricting movement, would eliminate the openness and warmth of campus grounds, severely detracting from the atmosphere and choking the general freedoms the university environment is supposed to facilitate. At the same time, it was this very openness that helped enable Cho Seung-Hui to not only kill 32 students, and eventually himself, but also to have the time to mail one final message to NBC in between the two shootings. Unfortunately, as much as is done to bolster security, one must come to the realization that there will always be people driven over the edge and this type of crime is, realistically, unpreventable. As long as firearms exist, so will disturbed people who will want to and be able to use them in terrible ways. However, it is possible to minimize the damage caused by these types of shootings in many ways. Thankfully, the university has taken all the necessary steps at this time to reevaluate and update their security plans. One area in particular is commmunications. The importance of communicating with students and others was made starkly clear in Blacksburg Monday and UM should be applauded for looking into every means available to notify students in a crisis situation. Overshadowing most of the other methods is the hope that all students will register their cell phone number on MyUM in order to receive instantaneous alerts, via a recording and hopefully soon by text messaging. But this plan is wholly dependent on the students&#39; participation. The Hurricane would even go so far as to say the university should require students to submit a number, with special exceptions for those without cell phones. A campus-wide PA system would be highly effective, as well, similar to those in the dorms. As the affected and the nation start to heal, it is time to also look forward and do what we can to avert another tragedy of such proportions. It is not an easy task, but the above suggestions are a good start at making our campuses safer, while not compromising -- Original Source:<a href=http://media.www.thehurricaneonline.com/media/storage/paper479/news/2007/04/20/Opinion/Editorial.Absolute.Campus.Security.Impossible.But.Um.Moving.In.Right.Direction-2871107.shtml>The Miami Hurricane - April 20, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The Miami Hurricane Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Greg Linch <greglinch@gmail.com> Title A name given to the resource Editorial: Absolute campus security impossible, but UM moving in right direction security measures university of miami https://www.april16.vtlibraries.net/files/original/DSC00135_2765bf2ae9.JPG null Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The "Send Word Now" system -- which uses all three message types -- was introduced to the campus this year to some extent, but it will be developed more over the summer, Brown said in the email. "In light of the deadly tragedy at Virginia Tech University, we are reviewing Boston University&#39;s emergency response plans and communication systems to ensure that they are the best available," Brown said in the email. The improved system would also notify response teams "within minutes" of an emergency, Brown said. In an email to The Daily Free Press, Brown said he expects the school would be able to contact everyone in less than 10 minutes. Students are not required to register their cellphone numbers in the school directory, which is one flaw in reaching everyone in an emergency, Brown said in an April 27 interview. However, in his email to the community, Brown said incoming students will be required to register cellphone numbers or alternative contact numbers, and he encouraged current students to do so on the Student Link website. "We will require the information for all students studying on our Boston campuses," Brown said in the email to the Free Press. "Otherwise, the system would only reach a fraction of our students." The communications system "has been in place," said BU spokesman Colin Riley. "Texting is just one avenue of reaching people. We&#39;re trying to find the most effective system possible," he added. The method was introduced about a year ago at a university meeting that addressed a possible avian flu outbreak, Riley said. "This assessment is to ensure and reinforce our view that students&#39; safety is our highest priority," Riley said. "The best that will come out of this is that everyone is aware, and the seriousness of these systems are recognized and appreciated. We&#39;re always looking to enhance communications with students." -- Original Source:<a href=http://media.www.dailyfreepress.com/media/storage/paper87/news/2007/05/18/News/EmergencyResponse.Communications.To.Reach.Phones-2905215.shtml>Daily Free Press - May 18, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Daily Free Press Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Matt Negrin <editor@dailyfreepress.com> Title A name given to the resource Emergency-Response Communications to Reach Phones boston university https://www.april16.vtlibraries.net/files/original/DSC00020_3d10e76e91.JPG null Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
