The Investigative Unit sent out its own survey to Bay Area universities to see how schools are tracking student suicides and attempted suicides.
cited national surveys showing “alarming increases” in mental health issues right before the COVID shutdowns. The increases were a result of a bombardment of media and pop culture messages eroding their self-worth, as well as other distressing issues like climate change, income inequality and racial injustice, according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s report.
San Jose State University said it also tracks but declined to provide specific data saying the school has about “two suicides per academic year.” Stanford University said it has seen “a sharp increase in demand for mental health counseling.” Stanford never directly answered our questions about whether it tracks student suicides.
The Investigative Unit reached out to the U.S. Department of Education with these concerns and the results of our survey. The Department declined to do an interview but, in a statement, said it “is concerned about the rise in mental health challenges across the country… We value transparency but also recognize the sensitive nature of reporting.”
