"The bigger question that should be asked of the governor, VT's [board of visitors] and parents that send 18 million students off to university annually is, why are we setting a precedent by allowing university administrators and law enforcement, to whom we entrust our children on campuses, to be above question or reprimand if they do wrong? To whom do we hold them accountable? The dismissal of Charles Steger [and] Chief Flinchum could certainly send a message."
"In their normal jobs , and even under the extraordinary pressures of the post-4/16 period, President Steger and Chief Flinchum have demonstrated strong leadership and commitment to the university."
"Our family has chosen to move past the anger and recover as best we can."
"To answer your questions, yes , President Steger and Chief Flinchum need to be removed from their current position as 'leaders.'"
"While the event may have been mishandled , it wasn't mishandled with intent."
"In my opinion, I think that Steger should have resigned along with Flinchum. If they didn't resign, then they should have been fired."
"Regardless, it is astonishing that , in the face of the facts, Steger remains congenitally incapable of admitting any shortcomings at all or offering a simple, heartfelt human apology."
"Both these individuals sorely lack true leadership qualities and their arrogance is, frankly, quiet scary. These two should have nothing to do with the safety of others -- they need to be removed pronto."
