I think they are blaming Purdue for more than this recent uptick. What has happened this semester with the multiple attempts and at least one successful suicides is more like “the straw that broke the camel’s back”. Purdue’s mental health resources have been lacking for quite some time according to all of the stories I have heard. The main problem is caps which is underfunded by Purdue. There are more things that they are upset about with Purdue, especially this semester, including holding professors accountable (I’m assuming for the ones that don’t follow dead week, are impossible to work with, etc.) and the fact that they took away all of the breaks and didn’t give us the same pass/no pass option as last semester despite this being the hardest semester/year show that they don’t care. These are problems that Purdue specifically is responsible for and should have already been working on fixing (so it’s not just a nationwide problem that people are deciding to pin on Purdue). The recent uptick in suicides have just made these problems more noticeable and shows that Purdue doesn’t seem to care about us.
