Gun violence

As the U.S. experienced growing gun violence and mass shooting, campuses pivoted to their own vulnerability. United Educators, an insurance company, hosted the meeting in order to communicate that, although all gun incidents cannot be eliminated, many are preventable with vigilance. A representative of United Educators said, "it is absolutely possible to prevent acts of violence within our educational institutions." The key is identifying the growing threat - "School shootings are preventable, because the people who engage in them - and they're often students - follow this detectable pathway to violence.''
