Higher education institutions are in a vulnerable position when it comes to cybersecurity. In an alert issued by the FBI earlier this year, the nation’s top law enforcement agency warned that agents have identified U.S. college and university credentials advertised for sale on the dark web and publicly accessible internet forums.

It also makes them vulnerable from a safety perspective. This dual reality was thrown into stark relief last week when Thomas Meixner, professor and chair of hydrology and atmospheric sciences at the University of Arizona, was shot dead in his office building, apparently by a former graduate student in the department.

But the news coverage of this sad episode—and the Twitterstorm about the same—focused too much on Jones and not enough on NYU.
