Not so long ago, when parents sent their children away to college, their biggest fears probably were of the rowdy party and failing grades variety. That paradigm was shattered last spring when a troubled student at Virginia Tech shot and killed 33 people, including himself, in a rampage that started in a dormitory and continued in an engineering classroom building.
At least two major campuses within the University of Wisconsin system â?? Madison and Green Bay â?? are using the Virginia Tech tragedy as an opportunity to improve their own campus security measures in the event of a shooting or natural disaster.
