[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back of the envelope calculation: the suicide rate in the population is roughly 1/2000 each year. I think Stanford has around 2000 students per class.There are 4 classes on campus in any given year so 8000 plus three classes that went through since 2019 is 14000. So you would expect 7 suicides, all other things being equal. 9 isn't going to be statistically significant. Given the rate of mental health issues at these schools, it might even be low.[/quote]. Several were grad students.[/quote] Any university with this kind of suicide rate will be called out. Why would any parent send their kid to a university to die? It's like sending a kid off to school, only to go there a semester later to collect the body. [/quote]
