诚然,艾米·毕晓普不仅仅是一名女性——她还是一名学者。所以我们总是把那些危险的信号解读为学者的怪癖而不予重视。某篇高等教育编年史的文章中有这样的句子:“学术是怪胎的摇篮。当你选择把余生献给图书馆或者实验室的时候,你的人生已经与常人不同。”然怪胎与疯子只有一墙之隔,这个界限极易被忽视。当可怕的枪击案件发生时,我们谁也不会下意识地把犯罪和某个大学教授的奇怪行为联系起来。
But according to a lawsuit filed by the families of two of Bishop’s victims, Maria Ragland Davis and Adriel Johnson, Vistasp Karbhari, the provost of the University of Alabama at Huntsville, was well aware of Bishop’s “dangerous instability,” yet did nothing to intervene. “Bishop had a history of severe, observable mental instability and violence dating back more than 20 years,” the suit alleges. According to court filings, the university had procedures in place to report potentially dangerous people on campus to the police and to get them into therapy—procedures of a sort that were instituted at universities across the country in the aftermath of shooting incidents at other educational institutions, like Virginia Tech.
毕晓普案的两名受害者家属说,亚拉巴马大学汉茨维尔分校的督学卡布哈里已经对毕晓普的危险倾向有所觉察,却没有作为。他们说“毕晓普的精神病史和暴力倾向可追溯至二十年前。”该案发生后,大学已经采取措施,将校园中一些潜在危险人员名单报送警方,并敦促他们接受治疗。美国的其他学校,例如弗吉尼亚理工大学,也采取了类似措施。
