I agree that students should seek mental health care off campus. In terms of checks and balances, one nice feature of MIT is that power seems to be very diffuse, to the point where it's actually annoying to try to get anything done at an institute level.

For example, I was at one point affiliated with an org that was dealing with sensitive student medical data and we had enough political power due to who we were affiliated with such that I don't think anyone could have tried to force us to disclose data.
