Apr 19, 2010 - 3:20:42 PM
In response to the Virginia Tech incident on April 16,
2007, former cabinet Secretaries Michael Leavitt and Margaret Spellings,
and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales submitted the Report to
the President on Issues Raised by the Virginia Tech Tragedy dated June
13, 2007. The report included a recommendation that the U.S. Secret
Service (Secret Service), the U.S. Department of Education, and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) explore the issue of violence at
institutions of higher education (IHEs). Accordingly, we initiated a
collaborative effort to understand the nature of this violence and
identify ways of preventing future attacks that would affect our
nation’s colleges and universities.
