The news caused a strong public protest. Although it is unacceptable to expel students with psychological problems in order to avoid reputation damage, it seems to have become a common means in some American universities.
Today, when more and more students are facing psychological pressure, this kind of behavior begins to face more and more challenges.
Graduates who were forced to drop out of school because of psychological problems sued Yale.
▲ Yale University Health Center. According to the Yale Daily News,
Yale Daily News quoted court documents as saying that two Yale students committed suicide in less than a week at the beginning of 10. At that time, Z.P., a Yale female student who felt uneasy, went to Yale Mental Health Counseling Center for consultation, and was later suggested to go to Yale-New Haven Hospital for treatment. However, the hospital staff did not tell her that she might be forcibly detained after admission. Without her consent, the hospital staff did not provide her medical information to Yale administrators. Subsequently, she was forced to take sick leave by Yale University.
After being suspended from school, Z.P. appealed. Although she promised not to hurt herself in the appeal, holloway, then dean of the college, still refused her request, and she was not allowed to finish the course in the fall semester of 20 16, and even could not return to school in the next spring semester.
