Yale University officials published multiple letters in response to a report from The Washington Post about the school's allegedly inadequate services for students who are suicidal.
Nov. 11 reporting that current and former students claimed to have been pressured by university administrators to withdraw once their mental health problems were known, after which they were required to go through a cumbersome reapplication process to get back into the school.
More than 25 current and former Yale students told the outlet they were upset by what they described as Yale's inadequate policies and services for students in the throes of a mental health crisis, despite the institution's $41.4 billion endowment. In instances reported by those who spoke with The Washington Post, some students failed to hear back after they reached out for mental health assistance, while others received limited counseling sessions. Others maintained that they kept their mental difficulties hidden to avoid Yale's withdrawal policies, which allegedly put pressure on such students to leave campus within as little as 72 hours or less.
"To be clear, the health and well-being of Yale students are primary university priorities," Salovey wrote."The Washington Post article does not reflect Yale’s efforts to foster student wellness. The article fails to acknowledge the support, processes, and policies in place or the positive outcomes associated with our work."
