Campus Carnage and the Unseen Costs of Higher Ed The early morning hours of Saturday brought chaos to Virginia State University's campus, as five people were shot near the Quad Annexes.
The swift response from campus police and local authorities contained the situation, but the aftermath will leave scars on the university community for weeks.
The shooting's proximity to the start of the academic year is a tragic reminder that even with robust safety measures and welcoming initiatives, universities are not immune to society's dark forces.
