Columbia has had its share of '''suicides''' like most other elite institutions of higher learning (but unlike [[NYU]], which has had far more).

If you or someone you know has made even a passing remark about suicide, it is suggested to contact [[Health Services]] immediately.

== Partial list of suicides ==

This list is very incomplete since major media outlets, for the most part, stopped reporting on college suicides during the 1960s.
