Prosecutors released transcripts this week of videos in which the man accused of killing two Brown University students admitted planning and carrying out the campus attack, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Claudio Neves Valente, found dead days after the December shootings, reportedly described plotting the violence and referenced unspecified “people” in justification, though he offered few motives. The revelations renew scrutiny on campus safety protocols, Clery Act compliance and crisis communications as institutions face heightened federal review and potential enforcement after mass-casualty events. Brown and other research universities are now dealing with legal, reputational and operational fallout while federal agencies continue to examine whether institutions met reporting and prevention obligations under campus-safety laws.
