There are over 30,000 students at UNC Chapel Hill.

20,000 undergrad and 10,000 grad students.

2 divided by 30,000 is .0000666

Nothing burger with emotional over reaction.

Sorry for this and I know suicides can be “contagious” but I don’t like the demand that the world come to a screeching halt in the event of tragedy. I don’t know how big the campus is but what are the chances most of the students didn’t know the deceased students? It reminds me of the push to get every student to be counseled anytime a potentially traumatic event happens. I think it is overkill. If students can’t shake it off in a few days or weeks, then make counselors available to them upon request.

I am old school, from the sixties and seventies and I can’t recall anytime the schools cancelled classes because of the death of a student or other event. Heck, we didn’t even cancel school when a bomb threat was made. They briefly had the students go outside, except for a few of us who had to search our classrooms for the bomb, which was never found. Tragedy and loss are normal parts of the human experience. In the past, we just pushed through it and I can’t recall anyone who went postal or anything. We talked with our parents or pastors and moved on.

canceling classes on Tuesday to “acknowledge and reflect on the seriousness of mental health illness” after two recent deaths on campus, officials announced Sunday.

Well, that would be depressing...

WTF? It is a sad fact of life that some late adolescents commit suicide. When I was a junior a student shot himself on the steps of the Student Center merely because he blew his 4.0 by getting a B in a course. Now they are saying we are experiencing a mental health crisis?1 Maybe on college campuses but I don’t see anything beyond the usual craziness in society at large.

They should cancel classes in order for everyone to reflect on the downside of lack of education.

So every student has to stop their educational lives because 2 kids committed suicide. Stupid approach but seems to be the norm these days.
