69. 47 suicides over 36 years..

Far fewer than 2 per year, and this is in a population which includes physically and mentally disabled people, who would be excluded from work at Foxconn. What's more, MIT has been a majority male campus whereas Foxconn is predominately female. Men are up to 400% more likely to commit suicide.

Since the Foxconn suicides are directly linked to conditions inside the factory, a proper comparative analysis would involve looking at how many of the student suicides were the result of personal or social problems and how many were the direct result of pressures from the school. Take out the deaths triggered by mental instability, family problems, personal tragedy and health issues and then you've got your base number.

Like I said, you cannot simply throw up statistics and pretend Foxconn doesn't have a problem. When one delves into the actual details it becomes clear that Foxconn has a severe problem.
