MADISON, Wis. (AP) – A security review triggered by the shooting rampage at Virginia Tech will focus on how University of Wisconsin campuses can intervene with troubled students to prevent violence, officials said Thursday.
Among the problems already discovered is a shortage of mental health counselors to treat students, said University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Chief Sue Riseling, who is leading the review.
â??At this point what I can safely say is that we do not meet the national average for staffing in our counseling centers,â? she said. â??This is a problem thatâ??s growing and we know it. Unfortunately, weâ??re not sure right now the system has the resources to meet what we are currently seeing.â?
