Violence on Campus- Los Angeles Times Article

After the Virginia Tech shootings, I've heard about many changes and action taken place on campus and for students. Some of the changes that are stated in the article are the faculty are speaking out about the students who they feel are worried about, teachers are paying more attention to violent material writing assignments, parents must be informed when students may be a danger to themselves or others. I agree with these new changes because the campus faculty are taking action and are more aware of there surroundings, but on the other hand the open door policy is out the window were a student can talk about there problems and it can be confidential. Students are going to be more hesitant of asking for help or advice because we are under a microscope now. Everything we say or do maybe questioned. The problem that some faculty actually realized is that the new rules does not support students. It going to make students feel more stigmatized and keep their mental health history a silent.
