It was exactly one week ago that students at the University of Illinois woke up to the news that a fellow student had committed suicide the night before. The Daily Illini was one of the first outlets to break the news and shortly after, campus was stirring. This day also happened to be when the Senior leadership at the University of Illinois was holding a state of the University address and Open Forum in the Union. The room was packed with professors and faculty, but hardly any students. The main items on the agenda were the ever prevalent budget crisis and advancing diversity and inclusion initiatives on campus. I went to the event with a friend and throughout the course of the meeting we could not believe some of the things we heard. Towards the end of the meeting they asked for questions, and my friend and I were very interested in hearing what University of Illinois leadership had to say about the status of mental health resources on campus. Renee Romano, the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, proceeded to talk about how the Counseling Center on campus has wonderful resources and outreach services. The response to my friend’s question showed was less than satisfying for the both of us. Luckily, the event ended shortly after and we could leave to talk and compare thoughts on how the University was handling the situation.
