Survivors of On and Off Campus Violence Need University Support
|
Posted By: Hija Chang on October 30, 2015 Over the last several weeks gun violence has erupted on and off college campuses throughout the United States. Serene environments were shattered by senseless deaths at Northern Arizona University, Umpqua Community College, Texas Southern University and Tennessee State University. College communities of varying sizes are fighting an epidemic that touches the lives of Americans in urban, rural and suburban neighborhoods. The deaths have led some to question gun laws.

A 2010, study by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) found that from 2005-2008 the total murder/non-negligent manslaughter cases at institutions of higher education totaled 174. Although the number of incidents pales in comparison to the overall number of administrators, faculty, students and auxiliary staff on college campuses post secondary institutions have to be prepared to provide comprehensive therapeutic services to survivors of traumatic experiences.
