Anecdotally, uwaterloo is the suicide capital of universities. Them math programs be hard.
I read a little bit of that but couldn't discern what the actual problems were aside from some frustration with management. Nothing that in itself would drive someone to suicide, as you're implying. Can you clarify?
Universities have a duty of care to their students. For someone playing such a pivotal role to have suffered to that point is inexcusable.
