After leadership changes, turmoil, Campus Health seeks input
April 20, 2022
Last year was tumultuous for Tulane University Campus Health, marked by two separate accusations of an abusive work environment, possible violations of federal patient privacy law and ultimately the resignation of two senior Campus Health leaders.
As employees and students alike wait for the announcement of a new associate vice president for Campus Health, administrators seek student and community input on the quality of services that Campus Health provides.
In a message to the Tulane community, Dusty Porter, who as vice president for student affairs oversees Campus Health, announced that Student Affairs had engaged “an external consulting group, Keeling & Associates, LLC to conduct a review of the operations and services provided by Tulane’s Campus Health.”
Porter also shared that Keeling & Associates, a Massachusetts-based higher education consulting group, would be engaging in interviews with Campus Health stakeholders, students and parents to solicit feedback on the current state of Campus Health.
As part of that process, Campus Health sent two separate surveys to Tulane community members over the last two weeks. Eligible individuals can find links to the surveys in their Tulane inboxes.

Tulane hires consultants instead of directly listening to the staff and students. Hiring consultants is not taking action.
We already know what the issues at CH are and leadership knows too. They know they can make changes, but they don’t and they won’t. So they hire consultants to try to prove they’re doing something.
CH treats its staff like shit if they don’t fall in line with admin/leadership politics (so, if they actually want to help students). They care more about keeping up appearances (appeasing donors and admin) than improving the lives of students. That’s why they refuse to stop sending TUPD on TEMS calls, why they don’t address their staff’s concerns, why they won’t radically restructure CH and CAPS to improve patient care, and why they have chosen to abandon COVID prevention.

Student health needs to be accessible, available and timely in order to be effective. Our students are making greater use of local emergent care centers. That seems to be a problem.
