[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay for 100% of everything, yet the college won't warn parents about alarming behavior issues? The only way you know if your child is out of control is if they end up in the hospital or in police custody (and they choose to call you for bailout?), i.e. rock bottom? I understand there is a waiver or something, but shouldn't the default be parents are immediately informed of things like this?[/quote] OP, there are such strong privacy laws, which the college must abide by(mostly because they get Federal money). Be it HIPPA, FERPSA, whatever, your kid is most likely an adult, ie above aged 18. The colleges are more concerned with getting sued than they are with actually heading off a problem. I think the WSJ did a very long story on this a few years ago. The student ultimately killed himself, then the parents sued the school. School could NOT reveal the kid's mental issues. [/quote]
