What's missing for me is any account of students who choose not to continue at the University after an attempt. Because the University can kick you out if you refuse therapy over 90% now go, which is good. But what happens to the rest? Do they commit suicide after they get kicked out? Since they started this approach they've had 1,531 "incidents;" this means as many as 150 students have left. If 20 or so of them committed suicide soon afterward it appears the chief success in terms of campus suicide rate is to make sure they are no longer students when they die.

On one hand, I'd guess the program actually does some good if it's getting people to accept help. (Though one might also wonder how effective therapy is with a resistant patient.) But on the other hand, it also seems likely that the ones who get kicked out might be the ones most likely to try again and succeed.
