The University of Chicago is on edge over an apparent crime spree early Monday morning that was capped by the shooting death of a chemistry graduate student from Senegal who had just recently defended his dissertation, according to today’s Chicago Tribune. The spree, which consisted of three incidents over a one-hour period, took place off campus, but it drew complaints from students and others about the nine hours that passed before the university notified students about what had happened. The complaints resembled criticism of how Virginia Tech handled the shootings on its campus last April. A University of Chicago official attributed the delay to the importance of having accurate information before disseminating it. —Andrew Mytelka
