On Monday, staff and students are set to return to class at Michigan State University. The university confirmed Friday in an email to students and staff that campus operations would resume, even as officials have faced pressure to delay the return.
Michigan State University professor Marco Diaz-Munoz is still haunted by what he witnessed last Monday night, when a gunman entered his classroom in Berkey Hall, killing two of his students in what he describes as "12 minutes of terror."Arielle Anderson and Alexandria Verner, both juniors, would die that night, Feb. 13. The suspected gunman, Anthony McRae, would shoot six more students during the rampage in two campus buildings. Brian Fraser also would die.
"On one hand, I want to forget it all. But then on the other hand, I think I need to help my students pick up the pieces," Diaz-Munoz said. "I think I need to help my students build a sense of meaning." Diaz-Munoz understands that some students won't be ready to return, saying that some will still have "the fear of looking over their shoulder and looking out the window, at the doors."
"We are encouraging empathy and patience and an atmosphere for all to recover at their own pace," Interim President Teresa Woodruff said Thursday. The shootings at Michigan State happened Monday during evening classes at Berkey Hall and nearby at the MSU Union, a social hub where students can study, eat and relax. Students across the vast campus were ordered to shelter in place for four hours -- "run, hide, fight" if necessary -- while police hunted for Anthony McRae, 43, who eventually killed himself when confronted by police not far from his home in Lansing.
