I actually agree with Yale asking students to leave campus. For some kids, who have unfortunate luck of bipolar or [b]schizophrenia[/b] illnesses, they are very often not coming back to school. Some will manage, but it’s going to take a year or two to sort out. [/quote]

When I was at Stanford in the 80’s there was a grad student with schizophrenia who was terrorizing the campus. He came into our row house and left the sofa stabbed with knives. He also loosened the sandbags in Memorial Auditorium with a knife. It was in the middle of a heat wave, and we had to sleep with our windows closed and no air conditioning because we were terrified. Residential Education’s solution was to ask anyone in our dorm to make a citizen’s arrest of him since he frequented our house. My dormmate finally put his hands on his upper arm and said, “I’m making a citizen’s arrest under such and such code.” In retrospect it was outrageous of Stanford to ask a 21 year old to do that. Good times.[/quote]
