Wesleyan University will resume normal operations today, after a tense day in which most activities were called off after police found journals of a man suspected of murdering a student on Wednesday, and the suspect's writings indicated that he wanted to kill other students, especially Jewish students. The university issued security alerts [1] to those on the campus, and informed students when the suspect turned himself in to police in a nearby town late Thursday. Wesleyan is providing counseling services and also pledging flexibility on final exams and academic work, given that students' lives were interrupted by the tragedy of a fellow student's murder and then considerable campus fear as they were finishing up a semester's work. An article in The New York Times [2] explores how the suspect, Stephen Morgan, met his victim, Johanna Justin-Jinich, two years ago when both were enrolled in a summer program at New York University. At the time, she reported that he made harassing calls and sent her harassing e-mail messages.
