I've worked on two different college campuses since 9/11. On both campuses, we were REQUIRED by Homeland Security to have security measures planned and documented for inspection. When I hear the VaTech president talk about how they had a meeting to determine HOW they were going to notify students, I just scream! That stuff has ALREADY BEEN decided and you're supposed to automatically throw into motion the procedures.

Believe me, school campuses all over the country have spent the past 5 years tuning and fine-tuning emergency procedures, so their official non-reaction to the first incident just seems totally ridiculous to me.
