Richmond Times-Dispatch: Fire Va. Tech’s president, some shooting victims’ families say

Virginia Tech’s leaders need to be held accountable for their actions during last year’s massacre, survivors and families told Gov. Timothy M. Kaine yesterday.

Some said that probably means Tech President Charles W. Steger should be fired.

In two days of meetings with the governor during the weekend, families said the pay increases and praise Tech officials received after the April 16, 2007, shootings in which 32 students and faculty members were killed has sent the wrong signal to Tech leaders and is stalling needed change. The gunman, student Seung-Hui Cho, killed himself.
