Does anyone know more about what he was studying? the movie Dark Matter portrays him as a astro-physicist, but I would like to find more credible sources of information... Leav (talk) 16:36, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this NY Times article, he worked with plasma physics. Capmo (talk) 05:13, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

text: It would be good to know that, as far as the "field of work" bit is concerned.  97.127.136.170 (talk) 23:44, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

text: Goertz was the lead of the group, which included Lu, for theoretical space plasma physics. The research group meeting was for his group. Basically everyone at the meeting (including the two unmentioned survivors) in Van Allen Hall worked for Goertz. Specifically, Lu did numerical simulation. --Unready (talk) 20:26, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: His field of work

message: This is an absurd addition to this article with no relevance and I suggest it be removed or every other act of mourning, both on and off the football field be recorded...
"The following football game saw the Hawkeyes football team appear in uniforms stripped of all helmet logos, and striping, as an official sign of mourning."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.234.52.131 (talk) 00:54, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Due to the significance of the football team at the U of I, and the relative rarity of the removal of the tiger hawk from the helmet (I've been unable to find any other instance of this happening), I think the section should stay, although it could be incorporated with other instances of mourning.  97.127.136.170 (talk) 23:54, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It happened during the Alamo Bowl in the early 00s if I remember correctly when a player's mother died in a collision on the way to the bowl game, but that time and the game after the shooting are the only two instances with which I'm familiar. --Sephiroth9611 (talk) 15:44, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Additional sources 

message: Where was the shooter born (city)?  Why was he in the United States and how did he get in (types of visas and years for each)?  How was he financing and supporting himself in the United States?  The article should include his financial condition from before coming to the United States and through the entire period that led up to the shooting.Starhistory22 (talk) 04:39, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  This Article is Missing the Usual Personal Data on the Shooter 

message: See MOS:JOBTITLES: "The formality (officialness), specificity, or unusualness of a title is not a reason to capitalize it." The person is "an associate vice president for academic affairs". No department was named. If the person was "an associate vice president in the Academic Affairs Department", I would not have changed the case, but search Wikipedia and you will see that "the accounting department" is only capitalized in about 17% of articles. Some people feel the need to capitalize every noun when a university is being discussed, but that is not the style Wikipedia uses. Chris the speller yack 13:57, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not about the job title. Academic Affairs is the name of the department, even without "Department." --Unready (talk) 08:29, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
