An activism group at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) is skeptical the school is seriously trying to address mental health issues on campus.

According to the Huffington Post, a group of 12 students, professors and faculty members released a policy statement of their own ways to address the issue. Since the end of the last semester, three UPenn students have committed suicide, two on campus and one while home on break.

The Platform of the Green Ribbon Movement, the name of the group's manifesto, laid out proposals and goals for the school to enhance its response to mental conditions like depression and anxiety. Following the three suicides, UPenn launched a task force to ensure people dealing with such mental conditions would get help.

Since the task force was created in February, the school has been criticized for not including any students in it. Elana Stern, a junior at UPenn, told the HP the task force is not taking the proper approach to the issue and does not have enough transparency to it.

"The fact that we can't tell you how many times it's met is indicative of the whole process," she said.

However, Stephen J. MacCarthy, the school's vice president for university relations, said the task force plans on meeting with students as well as the Green Ribbon group. "That conversation will inform the work of the committee as it carries out its charge from the president and provost," he told the HP.

Derek Sexton, a Green Ribbon manifesto signer, said the task force was taking an approach too broad. The Green Ribbon group has also argued that the task force was avoiding transparency by not releasing any policy recommendations until 2015.

"All of these groups deal with and face different mental health challenges," Sexton told the HP. "Even if we were to privilege a few on the task force, it's still not representative of the student body."
