A Duke student’s participation in last Wednesday’s pro-Tibet and pro-China protests has led to retaliation against the student and her family and has attracted international attention.

As international attention on the situation between Tibet and China has increased over the past few weeks while China prepares for the Olympics, a Cornell anthropology professor was the subject of personal attacks posted to two University listservs last week in response to a film screening and discussion she organized on “the prospects for peace in Tibet.”

More students are reporting suspicious behavior to police than before, and the text-message crime alert system they established by the university after the massacre is widely used. Students have reported nearly twice as many suspicious incidents to university police over the past year, said police Lt. Robert Mueck. Police estimated they received about eight calls of reported threats the week after the Virginia Tech shooting.

Thirty-one students involved in a daylong sit-in to demand the university sign onto an anti-sweatshop labor program were arrested and charged with criminal trespass after refusing to leave Old Main when it closed at 5 p.m.

A Cambridge woman’s past was disrobed last week when the state’s highest judicial court resurrected indecent exposure charges that had been filed against her several years ago.

During the last year, discussions about gun control and mental health have hovered around college campuses.

Drayton Vincent, clinical director at the LUS Student Health Center, said even before the shootings at Virginia Tech, he noticed an increase of students seeking mental health counseling at the University.
