UC Calls For Ivy League Mental Health Reform, Funds Project Supporting Gender Non-Conforming Students | News

The Undergraduate Council endorsed an all-Ivy League statement on mental health and allocated funds toward a project supporting transgender and gender non-conforming students in purchasing gender-affirming clothing at its regular meeting Sunday.
The first piece of legislation allows the Council to sign onto an all-Ivy League mental health statement that calls for BIPOC mental health care, active “comp” oversight, increased counseling services, and leave of absence policy reform.
“Mental health is the 2nd leading cause of death among students and 75% of lifetime cases of mental health conditions begin by age 24,” the statement reads.
The statement also details that no Ivy League university scored above a D+ on the Ruderman Foundation scale, which measures university effectiveness in responding to students experiencing mental illness.
