　　The world watched in horror in April 2007 when Virginia Tech

student Seung-Hui Cho went on a killing rampage that resulted in

the deaths of thirty-two students and faculty members before he

ended his own life.

Former Virginia Tech English department chair and distinguished

professor Lucinda Roy saw the tragedy unfold on the TV screen in

her home and had a terrible realization. Cho was the student she

had struggled to get to know–the loner who found speech torturous.

After he had been formally asked to leave a poetry class in which

he had shared incendiary work that seemed directed at his

classmates and teacher, Roy began the difficult task of working

one-on-one with him in a poetry tutorial. During those months, a

year and a half before the massacre, Roy came to realize that Cho

was more than just a disgruntled young adult experimenting with

poetic license; he was, in her opinion, seriously depressed and in

urgent need of intervention.

But when Roy approached campus counseling as well as others in

the university about Cho, she was repeatedly told that they could

not intervene unless a student sought counseling voluntarily.

Eventually, Roy’s efforts to persuade Cho to seek help worked.

Unbelievably, on the three occasions he contacted the counseling

center staff, he did not receive a comprehensive evaluation by

them–a startling discovery Roy learned about after Cho’s death.

More revelations were to follow. After responding to questions from

the media and handing over information to law enforcement as

instructed by Virginia Tech, Roy was shunned by the administration.

Papers documenting Cho’s interactions with campus counseling were

lost. The university was suddenly on the defensive.

Was the university, in fact, partially responsible for the

tragedy because of the bureaucratic red tape involved in obtaining

assistance for students with mental illness, or was it just, like

many colleges, woefully underfunded and therefore underequipped to

respond to such cases? Who was Seung-Hui Cho? Was he fully

protected under the constitutional right to freedom of speech, or

did his writing and behavior present serious potential threats that

should have resulted in immediate intervention? How can we balance

students’ individual freedom with the need to protect the

community? These are the questions that have haunted Roy since that

terrible day.

No Right to Remain Silent is one teacher’s cri de coeur–her dire

warning that given the same situation today, two years later, the

ending would be no less terrifying and no less tragic.
