[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]although , to be sure, you're only allowed back at Yale if a Yale employed health care provider gives the okay.

At least it’s a health care provider, and not an anonymous panel of St Andrews college professors with no medical background deciding whether your multiple doctors’ letters are “compelling” before they vote yes or no on your student’s continued enrollment.

As a formerly very enthusiastic parent, I am sharing my story because if you are a current parent, keep an eye out on your student and make sure they get the help they need if anything comes up,  and despite concerns about privacy, report it to whichever academic panel needs this info at the time it’s happening.  It sounds dystopian.

If you are a prospective parent, think carefully about this issue.  Parents are not looped in to health issues, there are only two chances for academic assessment every semester- a midterm and final. If something goes wrong with your student at this University, it’s very difficult to find meaningful support to get back in the good graces of the University, despite reams of research showing college kids need more support than ever.  This is not an isolated incident[/quote]
