Right and left, students become depressed, experience extreme anxiety and many transfer or just drop out of college altogether. When the subject of cutting staff in student affairs came up, it became the issue on campus. At the meeting a few weeks ago with President Osgood, I was angry and I know I wasn't alone. In a way, it didn't matter. Saving those two positions wouldn't solve all of our student affairs problems, but at least it would acknowledge their existence.
Student affairs does have problems.
Student advisors are unpaid . To be blunt, I simply couldn't do everything people on the floor needed. Then there's the mental health center. It's not on campus, just like that full-time doctor that's not on campus and those two positions which will no longer be on campus. Cough drops and condoms is not enough by a longshot.
