[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMHO, Yale is right to require students take a leave of absence after a suicide attempt, but wrong to put up any barriers to return the following semester or the one after that (depending on when the attempt took place). They should expunge any grades from the lost semester. A suicide attempt--but not necessarily suicidal thoughts--show that a student needs serious mental health attention that can't be fully addressed while also trying to attend to the classes that in many cases are at minimum exacerbating the situation.[/quote] Oh, and I love Duke's idea about creating a department to help support students while they're on leave. Brilliant, caring approach to a delicate problem.[/quote]
