uh, what? I never said or implied in any way whatsoever that the university was culpable in the crime. maybe you should go back and re-read the thread. My argument (again) is that the University can and should use its influence to help change the student ghetto. As UBBulls pointed out, this concept is nothing new. And perhaps you forgot, but there is a downtown campus and downtown dorm rooms, so we aren't talking about an area "miles from campus". Sorry you don't believe the school has a responsibility of keeping a large contingent of its students safe.
yeah, it tickles me pink that an alum went on a killing rampage. har har har <this is dripping with sarcasm by the way>...but I don't understand why you would think that the article implies that the school is culpable in this? He's an alum, which means he's tied to the community, which is why the TU is reporting on it. Don't like it, but it is what it is.
