The Washington Post published a story Nov. 11 reporting that current and former students claimed to have been pressured by university administrators to withdraw once their mental health problems were known, after which they were required to go through a cumbersome reapplication process to get back into the school.
More than 25 current and former Yale students told the outlet they were upset by what they described as Yale's inadequate policies and services for students in the throes of a mental health crisis, despite the institution's $41.4 billion endowment.
In instances reported by those who spoke with The Washington Post, some students failed to hear back after they reached out for mental health assistance, while others received limited counseling sessions. Others maintained that they kept their mental difficulties hidden to avoid Yale's withdrawal policies, which allegedly put pressure on such students to leave campus within as little as 72 hours or less.
Following the story, Dean of Yale College Pericles Lewis and Director of Yale Mental Health and Counseling Dr. Paul Hoffman published a letter in The Washington Post pushing back against its reporting. The letter claimed the report ignored Yale's "complex and nuanced endeavor" to deal with students' mental health, warning the article "could put more students at risk" by making them believe they should stay in school regardless of their mental health condition.

Why is Yale still operating, seeing as it was founded by a slave trader with money from the sale of human beings.

Obamacare PPACA policies have mental health treatment benefits.
Obamacare policies cover students on family policies until 26 or 27.
Translation: "We think we can dodges these charges. You can't pin anything on us."
Oh boy. Here come the “complex” and “nuanced.”
Yale is the racist one right?
Not much different than the military. Look suicidal, get a fast discharge and thrown onto the street so if you do kill yourself, you’ll show up as a veteran suicide and not an active duty suicide. That cell in the commander’s weekly briefing spreadsheet stays green at all costs.
I can’t help but go back to my college days. We had Wonderful Wednesday where there were no classes. We had 4 days of classes for 5 days credit. I was told it was due to kids committing suicide. I still worked on Wednesdays, so it wasn’t a big break from me. It was nice not to have EVERY class be 5 days.
The dirty little secret is that all of these little hate-filled wokesters are one crisis away from suicide.
Anyone trying to defend themselves by saying they have a “complex and nuanced endeavor” is trying to feed you horse manure.
There is a medical school at Yale. Seems they could form some kind of clinic for distressed adolescents and help the afflicted.
