NIU Requesting $10M in Recovery Funds
SPRINGFIELD Ill. – Northern Illinois University (NIU) President John Peters has requested recovery money to provide counseling services for those still traumatized by the February suicide attack of a gunman. He told a House panel that the total cost may come to $10 million, which would also include improved security and communications infrastructure.
On Feb. 14, 27-year-old Steve Kazmierczak, who was at one time an award-winning graduate student of sociology at the university, shot and killed five NIU students before turning the gun on himself.
