Well, it's not like the president has a red button on his desk which magically makes the campus safe. With 30,000 people it's the size of a small city and you can't shut down a small city for every murder. Hindsight is perfect of course, but I don't think there's ever been a killing spree with a 2 hour gap like that. At the time of the killing most of the commuters would be on their way there, and no one checks there email before hand. The first killing was in a dormitory anyway, how would canceling class help? Most campus's don't have the manpower to shut down quickly.
