The University of North Carolina’s flagship campus has had two gun-related lockdowns this academic year, including one that left a researcher dead. That fatality has some students questioning the school’s readiness. The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that a 2020 internal audit at UNC-Chapel Hill recommended requiring faculty and staff be trained in how to respond to an active shooter, yet the school never implemented it broadly. A campus spokesperson says “significant efforts' have been made
FILE - University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill students, faculty and family hold a candlelight vigil, Aug 30, 2023, in Chapel Hill, N.C., in honor of professor Zijie Yan, who was shot and killed on campus earlier that week. Two shooting 30 years apart at the University of North Carolina show how much has changed. Some alumni who remember a deadly shooting in 1995 now have children enrolled at their alma mater in Chapel Hill, where an associate professor was shot to death Aug. 28.
University spokesperson Erin Spandorf said the Office of Internal Audit and the associate vice chancellor for campus safety and risk management have been tracking progress on the audit’s recommendations since 2020. The school didn’t address specific questions from the newspaper about why the training component has not been implemented.Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz told the school’s Faculty Council last month that the university would assess further training options.
Training is required for university staff “who have defined roles in our campus emergency response plans,” said Darrell Jeter, UNC’s director of emergency management and planning. The audit noted that when the university’s Campus Health Department requested and held training, only 20 of its 100-plus employees attended.

Forest biodiversity: Mixed forests are more productive when they are structurally complexThe richer forests are in different tree species, the faster the trees grow and the more CO2 they can absorb. A joint study by TU Dresden, Leuphana University Lüneburg, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, University of Leipzig, University of Montpellier and the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig sheds some light on the mechanisms behind this. The results have now been published in Science Advances.
