Sympathies for Northern Illinois

While not widely known outside the Midwest, Northern Illinois has one of the best teaching-oriented accounting programs in the nation. Sadly, last week, six students and a gunman were killed in what appeared to be a random act of violence. The American Accounting Association said that no one in the accounting department was directly affected; nevertheless, an incident of this nature has some impact on even the most isolated of students and personnel. My sympathies to the Northern Illinois community.
