In 2003, a student and "Phillipian" columnist criticized the school for its lack of appropriate mental health services, after she had difficulty during her Andover years of adjusting to a romantic breakup. She asserted that the school's negative attitude towards students who needed counseling might discourage students from seeking help. In 2013, a letter to the editor expressed concern regarding gender equity; the writer complained that in a school in which over half of the faculty were women, that since 1973, women were chosen to be school president only four times. The writer added that from 1973 to 2013, there were only nine female editors of "The Phillipian" as opposed to thirty-three male editors. In 2015, male athletes wrote a letter to the editor complaining how the male athlete sports-oriented culture was an indirect cause of sexism and led to an unbalanced "hook-up culture" at the school.
