I've personally called CCS before and was told they were booked for weeks so I needed to be referred outside of the university. After stating that I was a member of student government and very aware of Drake's promise to decrease the student wait time I was placed on hold and someone came back to the phone and told me "after consulting with other staff members they felt my case was serious and now had space to see the following day" after my screening I was immediate placed with a counselor who I met with a few times thereafter. There is absolutely preferential treatment occurring at CCS to please those with the loudest voices while overlooking the majority of the student population. President Drake and Student Life has continued to fail the student body when it comes to mental health. The taskforce and "talks" about improving mental health at Ohio State has been one big publicity stunt, a stunt that is hurting our students and campus community. Ohio State says what they have to when they need to then they move on.
