2007: A Year In Review
Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, v24 n23 p14-19 Dec 2007
The most high-profile story of the year touching the higher education community was undisputedly the killings at Virginia Tech in April when student Seung-Hui Cho opened fire, leaving 33 people dead, including himself. To date, it is the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history. However, in September, the Delaware State University (DSU) community was also touched by gun violence as a fellow student shot two DSU students. One of the victims later died of her injuries. Other significant events that occurred throughout the year are presented.
