Purdue was also going to continue normal operations after the arrest had been made, but after students got pissed about the insensitivity of all that, they cancelled classes for today.
This just highlights to me how no one is safe anywhere. It's pretty sad.

Most of my friends still went to class just a couple hours after the shooting; lots of professors sent out emails saying class was still on and students were still expected to come. The Purdue Review (the student-run magazine) says there were even teachers laughing off the threat during lectures like you said. Seems like it was handled pretty horribly and the teachers need to be fired.
