By Olivia Krauth–
More than a year has elapsed since The Cardinal discovered months-long waits and inadequate staffing at the U of L Counseling Center. Despite adding staff and growing concerns over student mental health, the center can’t seem to provide the necessary support.
The center doesn’t have enough appointment slots to meet demand, leaving close to 100 students scrambling for mental health resources. According to Counseling Center Director Aesha Tyler, Psy. D., there is a 96 student wait list for an initial assessment.
