Fox News
A Princeton University student's recent death has prompted renewed conversation about how Ivy League schools handle mental health crises on campus.
"There's limited funding and limited resources that go towards mental health." "[W]hen … a teen is entering into an Ivy League institution, there are some expectations and standards that differ."

Lauren Blackburn, 23, was an English major and creative writing minor from Indiana. He was missing for several days before authorities found him deceased in a lake. Officials have not released his cause of death or said if there was any foul play involved.
Blackburn was the third Princeton undergraduate student to die in two years and the eighth since 2021. Six of those deaths were determined to be suicides, as The Princetonian first reported.
