I guess we all heard the news about that guy who shot up that school over in Oakland. Well I did find some interesting stuff about the school he was at.
The Chronical of Higher Learning, the unbiased bastion of truth and honesty (he he) has an interesting post mortum on this:
http://chronicle.com/article/Former-Stud...in/131419/
The comments afterward are kind of interesting. Note how its all focused on the gun issue.
Whats odd, considering that it is posted in the CHL is that there is little discussion on the unaccredited status of this school or the fact that it caters to the Korean community of the bay area.
Interesting also, this Goh fellow dropped out of the Nursing program but was not refunded.
I would guess that this school is not as fortunate as other unaccredited schools in that it actually has a physical campus and a really pissed off ex-student can actually walk in and shoot up the place.
A really odd thing, that the Chronical failed to pick up on was that this school was under scrutiny by California authorities for its low passing rate of its nursing program.

This being in a state known for its liberal academic policies. Well, I am guessing that we have not heard the last of this tragic story. I do hope that the survivors of this horror are able to get on with their lives. But I do fear that some kind of back lash is in order. Seems that law makers always over react to tragic incidents like this one.
Note one inconsistancy: The Chronical described this school as being unaccredited but in the inteview with a state official, the Mercury quotes that official as stating that the accredition for the nursing program may be lost. I believe what Mr Heimerich really meant to say was that the school might loose its license to teach nursing.

So the dude can't get laid and he got ripped off by a school that would not refund his money. Life sucks but thats no reason to kill people. Jeez....

Quote:An unusual portrait emerged of Goh, with his nursing instructor saying that he was consumed by an inability to get along with women before he left the school a few months ago. The teacher, Romie Delariman of San Leandro, said Goh didn't fit in at a college where women make up the vast majority of the nursing faculty and student body.
Delariman said Goh - a former construction worker with a string of debts but no criminal record that would keep him from buying a gun - was a good and eager student. But he added, "He just can't deal with women. ... I always advised him, 'You go to school to learn, not to make friends.' "
