[quote=Anonymous]The examples cited in that article definitely paint Yale in a bad light. However, as the first PP stated, students experiencing crisis level mental health problems need to go take care of themselves and not stay on campus or stay enrolled. Students experiencing any crisis level health problem need to attend to their health first. It's not practical or desirable to allow students a tunnel vision focus on their academics while they're experiencing a life threatening condition. These decisions should not be made under duress, but consequences should apply when students are not able to meet the demands of their courseload. The consequences should not impede their future ability to succeed, and they should be allowed to re-enroll once their condition is manageable, but it is reasonable to make sure that they are no longer a risk to themselves upon reenrollment. We need universal healthcare that will provide for people regardless of their enrollment in a university, not to make universities responsible for people who cannot be students. [/quote]
