Tech Develops System to Analyze Recommendations
posted 6:26 pm Sun September 23, 2007 - BLACKSBURG, Va.
Virginia Tech has devised a system to prioritize, study and adopt more than 200 recommendations for changes in the wake of the mass shootings on campus in April. The university's board of visitors met Sunday to discuss the system.
Board members reviewed color-coded charts that cross-reference recommendations of a panel appointed by Governor Tim Kaine to look into the killings with those in the school's internal investigations.
Also to be considered are recommendations from federal studies launched after the shooting that left 33 people dead, including the gunman.
A policy group of many of the university's top officials is meeting several times a week to set priorities on the recommendations and distribute them to committees for review. It will give the board its first quarterly report in November.
