One of the most serious threats to students’ safety at Cornell is our mental health. The headline read, “Pollack Rejects Creation of Independent Task Force to Review Cornell’s Mental Health Policies.” I clicked the link, and you should too. The article spoke of the ways in which Sophie’s parents witnessed “systemic failure” from Cornell in the face of Sophie’s suffering. Cornell Health is ill-equipped to handle student’s mental health concerns. The Cornell administration should agree to an external review of our mental health policies, and, above all else, they should improve.
