That's awful. Especially sad since what the students of VT have already had to go through.

They added that emergency contact records suggest that Yang and the student who murdered her, Haiyang Zhu from Ningbo, China, knew each other.

Really? I thought it was one of those "caught in the crossfire" type of beheadings. 
Generally, you have to have a serious hate on for a person to cut their cut head off. Most of the time the only thing that can build hatred from a small burn to something that big is familiarity(the Greyhound bus incident was an exception to the rule).

Wow, Virgina Tech must be playing 'murdering sociopath' Bingo.

That is just unbelieveable. Maybe the campus is built on an indian burial ground or something, because this is downright scary.

Yikes. Scary stuff...
I didn't realize the competition to get ahead at Virginia Tech was so cutthroat... (too soon?)

Wow, that is horrible. I wonder what the motivation for this will come out as in the end. I also wonder if it will affect their attitude towards accepting students from East Asian countries.
Terrible thing.

That is horrible.
I don't even understand how one holds down someone long enough to decapitate them, while alive, with a kitchen knife.

Apparently, those in charge don't think it will have much of an impact at all on foreign student recruitment, although it doesn't specifically mention East Asian origin, I think given the situation that could be taken to be implied.
Quote:
Yang and Zhu were among 477 Chinese graduate students enrolled at Tech this semester. Karen DePauw, dean of the graduate school, said that the incident would not affect foreign student recruitment.
"I don't think it will have a negative affect," Depauw said. "Like April 16, people will read about it but they will also know that we have quality academic programs and that we are dedicated to building community."

I think Dean DePauw is dreaming that this won't affect their recruitment. They'll still get foreign students, but their top choices will be looking elsewhere.
When you think Virginia Tech, what's the first thing that pops into your mind? It sure as hell isn't academics.
