I wouldn't attach too much importance to these student riots. I remember when I was a student at the Sorbonne in Paris, I used to go out and riot occasionally.

It's important for students to take their studies seriously.

Any threat to the health and safety of a child in any school or classroom is unacceptable.

Just what is it that academics have to fear if they stand up for common decency, instead of letting campus barbarians run amok?

Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.

All through my school life I was appalled by the fact that masters and senior boys were allowed quite literally to wound other boys, and sometimes very severely.

There is no accurate or useful 'profile' of students who engage in targeted school violence. Some come from good homes, some from bad. Some have good grades, some bad.

The 99 percent should be protesting college campuses.

As the president of a university community of nearly 15,000 students and 7,000 faculty and staff, I take very seriously my responsibility to keep our campus safe in an increasingly dangerous world. The concealed carry policy has worked well for us.

The violent rioting that is sometimes now being called protesting - it makes the emotions so high that you almost cannot see the insults and injuries that are the people are suffering.
