Local Opinion: UA should 'bear down' as it deals with shooting

In the aftermath of the murder of my husband Tom, my immediate emotions were that of disbelief and devastating loss.

We all need to do our best to step into the shoes of those impacted and offer real solutions moving forward. It is our hope that this will begin with the University of Arizona, which Tom loved and was a source of great pride for him. The U of A fight song begins with the phrase “Bear Down, Arizona!” The origin of this motto memorialized John Byrd “Button” Salmon, a U of A student and football quarterback who died in a car accident in 1926.

Investigating the cascade failure is one part of responding to both Tom’s beloved department, who did everything that they could to protect him, and to the entire university community, who are rightfully concerned about their safety moving forward.

Powerful! I hope UArizonaPres reads this!! Two opportunities for UArizonaPres - 1. Resign & embrace his failure to the University & community. 2. Direct his 5% salary raise to a Victims Fund & make something good come from this unacceptable, avoidable & preventable tragedy. 🙏
