Students returned to Vermont State University on Monday following the still-unsolved murder of a retired dean near the school last week. There were no classes at the Castleton campus on Thursday due to fall break, when 77-year-old former dean and professor Honoree Fleming was fatally shot on the Delaware & Hudson Rail Trail. Fleming died from a gunshot wound to the head, officials said.
Fleming lived in Castleton with her husband, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Powers, the school said. Before arriving at Castleton, Fleming was on the faculty at Trinity College, Middlebury College, and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Many students returned to campus on Sunday and Monday ahead of the re-start of classes on Tuesday. Sophomore Samera Rideout said she had no intention going to the trail where Fleming was killed, about a mile south of campus.
