The Relationship

This paper examines the developing and complex legal relationship between universities and students, or would-be students, who have mental health problems. Discussion takes account of the wider social and policy contexts, including the extent of mental ill-health among the student population, the market for higher education, and government policies towards universities. It contends that the legal position of students with mental health problems demonstrates that there is a need for the relationship between students and universities to be conceptualised with reference to the citizenship ideal rather than the consumer paradigm with which it has tended to become associated in public policy terms.

Innovative Approaches

It’s important to understand the finances of colleges and universities, budgeting, and sources and uses of funding. Costs at colleges and universities are increasing for a variety of reasons. Some costs involve facilities intended to attract talent, both in terms of faculty and students. Many costs involve people who do not teach, such as administrators. These individuals are doing work that is either required (government compliance) or expected (student mental health or career counseling). So, it is a stretch to sustain the argument that rising costs in higher education are singularly a function of unnecessary layers of administration. Many universities are using innovative approaches to cut costs and improve revenue streams to their institutions.

Relevant Evidence

Background: Students in higher education often face mental health problems with inadequate treatment options. With COVID-19 only exacerbating the already high levels of mental health problems in the younger adult population, it is imperative policy makers have the relevant evidence to inform resource allocation and investment into student mental health services. Aim: We aim to identify and summarise economic evaluations of interventions that both prevent and treat student mental health within the UK. Method: We will conduct a review of all published economic evaluation literature relating to both students in higher education and interventions designed to prevent or treat student mental health. We will conduct a search in the following databases: PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, EconLit, PsycINFO and the National Health Service Economic Evaluation Databases (NHS EED). The review will be conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement guidelines 2019. A database of the literature compiled as part of this systematic literature review will be made available for transparency.
