That includes, says Harvey, helping UVa’s office for diversity and equity, which recently received a $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, implement a plan to increase the number of minority students who graduate in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
For the next few months, though, the primary history Martin will make will be with the Virginia Tech review panel.
The panel plans to provide a preliminary report with policy recommendations in late August, before the fall semester begins. The report will probably include a detailed timeline of events,
Cho’s mental history, a review of the actions of the university, police and medical personnel on the day of the shootings and an evaluation of gun access and purchase laws.
“I am hoping that there will be some consolation coming out of this in terms of allaying fears,” Martin says.
“I am hoping that the gun control laws will be revamped such that we can minimize guns in the hands of those who are imminently dangerous.”
