I actually didn’t see your response as I was intermittently typing mine at the same time you were posting (I am watching the Masters at the same time). But clearly you know better than I the issues Cornell has had. There is another school in California (I think) that has the same problem, but for the life of me I am coming up blank on which one.
I completely agree the article isn’t something any school likes to see out there. And as far as talking to those students, I think you could find enough students at almost any school after even a single suicide to fill out an article like that. You know how journalism works, I am sure. And that isn’t a slam on the journalist at all, that is just how it is when you are trying to support the theme of a story. To be even more fair, the journalist did note that Tulane’s mental health care at the time was not at all outside the norm among universities. Nonetheless, the school has reacted and increased care and resources, as I have noted. That is what has been communicated to all parties with ties to Tulane. So I think they are trying hard to get ahead of the issue, and of course not just for PR purposes but out of genuine concern for students.
