Virginia Tech Researchers Study Effects of Shootings on Their Campus
Gravois, John
Chronicle of Higher Education, v54 n26 pA10 Mar 2008
This article reports how researchers at Virginia Tech, working in a variety of disciplines, are studying the long-term effects of the campus killings 10 months ago. After the killings, administrators at Virginia Tech realized that their normal institutional-review process for research proposals was not sufficient to deal with the likely onslaught of scholarly interest in the shootings. As such, the provost's office set up a panel called the Committee for Assessment and Research after the Tragedy. Made up of six senior professors and administrators, it supplies an extra layer of institutional review through which all studies pertaining to the shootings must pass.
