Yes to those who would temper criticism of the university's arguably slow response in warning the campus of the first murders - hindsight's 20/20 - but...
-- when will we begin to take domestic violence as seriously as any other context for violence? if anything, it should be grounds for exaggerated caution, since those emotions run so deep and so far beyond reason.
-- while officials may have been justified in delaying a campus-wide *warning,* students were entitled to the prompt, unadorned information that the first 2 murders had taken place. They could then have at least made individual assessments as to whether to venture out from their own rooms. It is this bare failure to inform that is hard to condone.
