She asked me if I would be willing to release any articles that The California Aggie had written on the school&#39;s tragedy in April to be part of a larger database that is working to preserve and present stories from around the country. When I read the e-mail, it quickly reminded me of that terrible day on Apr. 16, when a lone student went on a shooting rampage on the Virginia Tech campus leaving 33 people dead, 25 injured and scores more scarred for life. College campuses across the country, including UC Davis, began reviewing and reevaluating their emergency response services in the case a similar attack should happen. Schools were no longer safe and seemingly anyone was capable of committing such a horrific act. Eventually, though, these thoughts became memories. Students here at UC Davis were able to continue to attend class, eat at the Coho and play intramural sports without worry. Of course, that&#39;s how it should be, and not just here, but everywhere. We should never have to live in a world of constant fear and trepidation, and should instead strive to live our lives as normally as possible. However, it is clear that normalcy is a status that many students in Blacksburg, Va. understandably continue to seek. Virginia Tech is not so different from UC Davis. It is a public institution with an undergraduate population of nearly 22,000. Blacksburg, like Davis, is also dominated largely by the local university. The population of the town is nearly 40,000 citizens, 60 percent of which is college students. Compare that to Davis, with a population around 60,000, about 50 percent of which is comprised of students. If you think that it can&#39;t happen here in quiet Davis, you are sorely mistaken. That being said, however, this is not a column trying to scare the population here on campus or the city at large that an attack is imminent. Instead, it is to serve as a reminder of how fortunate we are that we have been able to avoid a tragedy of such magnitude, and how easily we can undervalue every day that we walk on campus. In addition, we should not forget our brethren in Virginia. While many of us may not know any students over in Blacksburg personally, we can nonetheless imagine the pain and shock they continue to go through and the ongoing healing process. Last week the first football practice of the season for the Virginia Tech football team took place. The Hokies are the pride of Blacksburg and will once again be a top-25 team. But much more importantly, on that first game of the season when the team runs out of the tunnel and onto the field, the cheering students and fans can remember what it is to be normal again - for at least four quarters of football. Here at UC Davis, we as students should never take normal for granted. -- Original Source:<a href=http://media.www.californiaaggie.com/media/storage/paper981/news/2007/08/06/Opinion/Back-To.Normal-2929416.shtml>The California Aggie - April 6, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The California Aggie Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Eddie Lee <editor@californiaaggie.com> Title A name given to the resource Back to normal university of california - davis https://www.april16.vtlibraries.net/files/original/Ballons_aa7d4b58f3.jpg null Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Michael D&#39;Andrea, a professor in the Department of Counseling Education at UH&#39;s College of Education, was banned from campus and from contacting individuals at the college after receiving a letter from Interim Chancellor Denise Konan notifying him of his immediate reassignment to work at home. After arguments made on behalf of D&#39;Andrea and a recess in the hearing before U.S. District Judge Helen Gillmor on April 16, attorneys for UH volunteered to restore his freedom to communicate with students and faculty about the grievance process and complaints made against him, according to D&#39;Andrea&#39;s attorney Eric Seitz. UH agreed to lift the ban while allegations that D&#39;Andrea bullied students and faculty at the College of Education are investigated. A July hearing is scheduled to look at D&#39;Andrea&#39;s claims for damages and defamation. On April 12, D&#39;Andrea had filed a lawsuit against the university for what he called an infringement of his constitutional rights. According to the letter sent from Konan to D&#39;Andrea, there were concerns about his "alleged intimidating, hostile and bullying behavior." UH officials issued a statement that the university is committed to and has an obligation to provide a safe and healthy working and learning environment for faculty, staff and students. The agreement reached last Monday that was entered into by UH also granted that current and former students, faculty and staff know that they have a right not to say anything to D&#39;Andrea, according to UH attorney Gregory Sato. Sato had argued that UH feared D&#39;Andrea might engage in bullying when communicating with students and faculty while Seitz argued that the ban imposed on D&#39;Andrea was unconstitutional and an infringement of his rights of free speech. Following the hearing, D&#39;Andrea, who is also represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Hawai&#39;i, wrote an open letter to UH&#39;s Board of Regents to address what he called "the crisis of administrative leadership" and the violation of faculty members&#39; free speech and due process rights. After his removal from campus, D&#39;Andrea wrote in the letter that he was subjected to a number of disciplinary actions, without due process. He wrote that he believed other administrators and possibly BOR members approved of his removal. D&#39;Andrea asserted that this action was based on attempts to repress his rights to free speech and his public stance on social justice and peace issues particularly including protests about President David McClain&#39;s recommendations for a proposal to establish a University Affiliated Research Center at UH. Some issues D&#39;Andrea wrote he has and continues to address include the administrations refusal to investigate complaints he had filed regarding problems of institutional racism and sexism at the university, the high crime rates on campus, the continuing problems gay and lesbian people encounter on campus, the unsafe dormitory rooms and the increasing tuition costs. He cited that in addition to the attacks upon his rights, these issues are some of the problems at UH, illuminating the "crisis of administrative leadership." D&#39;Andrea said in the letter that although it is important to support the right of all people at the university to engage in discussions about the issues, "The University Administration has crossed the line of ethical and professional behavior in my recent court hearing." He states that at the hearing, UH&#39;s attorney tried to compare the allegations made against him for "bullying" and "intimidating" behavior with the murders committed at Virginia Tech University and the Xerox killings in Hawai&#39;i. He wrote that since the attorney "represents" the university, he finds it reprehensible that Vice Chancellor Neal Smatresk and Interim Dean Donald Young, both of whom were present, would allow such tactics to be used to serve the university&#39;s interests. D&#39;Andrea continued that, "These disrespectful and insensitive comments represent the self-serving interests of an administration that has lost its moral compass and professional respectability." Vice President for Legal Affairs and University General Counsel Darolyn Lendio responded to D&#39;Andrea&#39;s open letter upon review and wrote, "It is clear that your allegations and the remedies you seek are intrinsically connected to your pending legal and contractual claims. These legal and contractual claims derive from personnel actions made by the University of Hawai&#39;i at Manoa and have no relationship to alleged issues that involve the UH system administration or the Board of Regents." Responses from Smatresk and Director of Public Relations Gregg Takayama were unavailable at the time of publication. D&#39;Andrea also listed in his letter some individuals who had been retaliated against for raising social justice issues and/or other concerns about unjust personnel actions and mismanagement by administrators at the university. Lastly, he made a set of recommendations of actions to be taken to address present social injustices. They include: - An immediate investigation regarding those who were involved in the order to ban D&#39;Andrea from campus and the other disciplinary actions taken against him - A written apology from UH for the manner in which its administrators allowed D&#39;Andrea&#39;s case to be compared to the Virginia Tech massacre and the killings at the Xerox Company in Honolulu - An investigation into possible violations in UH BOR polices and professional ethics that may have been manifested by Smatresk and Young - The establishment of a special committee to investigate problems of racism and sexism at UHM - The development and implementation of a plan to reduce crime and violence on campus without resorting to the arming of security personnel - The development of an immediate plan of action to address structural problems that prevent people with disabilities from fully accessing campus buildings. Social-justice and peace advocate works Dr. Michael D&#39;Andrea, a tenured professor at the University of Hawai&#39;i at M?noa, had been teaching at UHM for about 18 years and during that time, had authored more than 200 scholarly publications, including six books. He had also received numerous awards for his contributions in areas of counseling and psychology. Some of his works include: Book chapters related to social justice issues: - D&#39;Andrea, M. (2006).
