    They don't do jack, and when something untasty like this case occurs, it'll be forgotten soon enough.
    Living up to the first part of your custom title I see

    I hope the administration doesn't get in any trouble over this.

    You mean the uni admin? There is growing rumbling, at least among students, that VT Admin should have cancelled all classes after the first shooting, especially since that perp (the same guy) was still at-large.

    Yeah. I disagree with that though. It's easy to say so in hindsight but there was a killing in dorm room that appeared to be domestic and the killer fled without shooting anyone else when he could have easily. In the vast, vast majority of murders the person doesn't decide to gun down an extra 30 people a couple hours later. There are dozens of killers on the loose in every city in the us, and if they canceled work for 30,000 people every time the world wouldn't function. It's doubtful this was a spur of the moment decision and he probably could have killed people anyway.

    Too many people are acting like VT president said to himself "well, 32 people are going to die but it would be too much trouble to cancel classes so screw them, haha!".
