[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't expect the universities to watch over my child's mental health. They are adults. There are millions of 18 -22 year olds out there working and living on their own with no one managing their mental health. I sent my kids there to receive an education. Sure they make a big deal about 'family' and nonsense like that but in the end it is a business and a business arrangement. As a business, they are not going to provide anything they don't have to to keep your business.

As for the discipline. I have always told my children if anything happens to them, they go to the real police. We don't deal with the campus police and those disciplinary committees. Frankly I can't believe how acceptable it is for the school to adjudicate that stuff as they clearly have a conflict of interest. The same way they have an incentive to keep their crime stats low.

You are paying for classes and a hotel. All the other stuff is smoke and mirrors. I feel very bad for this girl and her family but this isn't all on the University at all. [/quote]

Do you really feel bad for this girl and her family? It does not really seem so[/quote]
