A controversial start to the year for Lincoln University President Dr. John Moseley and the Board of Curators after the University’s Vice President of Student Affairs, Dr. Antoinette Bonnie Candia-Bailey, took her own life on January 8. Bailey’s passing has sparked outrage from LU alumni across the country who are now calling for Moseley’s resignation.
TL;DR - She said she was depressed and needed some time off and the president told her to stuff it and get back to work.
Really sad on all fronts.
Brutal. I feel for her family at the moment. These jobs just aren’t worth it. Take care of your mental health first .
He better be fired for how he dealt with the situation.
Asshole.

I dont want to be mean but this type statements are very reductionist of and inconsiderate towards suicidal/depressed people and how they actually feel and they seem to be used to shame and ridicule people into compliance while ignoring the underlying issue.
As a suicidal and drepressed person, I couldn’t care less about a percieved victory over some assholes, I want the pain, sadness, anxiety, apathy, tiredness, that i feel everyday from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep to stop. You telling suicidal people are dumb for choosing suicide instead of simply “living well” (whatever that means) doesnt help. In fact makes things worse because now Im not only a depressed, suicidal fuck up but also dumb. Thanks.
