The federal lawsuit seeks no monetary damages. but demands changes to Yale’s withdrawal policies.
about student mental health and Yale’s withdrawal and readmission policies, President Peter Salovey said the “health and well-being of Yale students are primary university priorities.”Salovey said colleges and universities in the last few years have seen a surge in demand for mental health services that was exacerbated by the pandemic.
The lawsuit alleges that past and present students who sought mental health treatments were told it would not “look good” if they resisted taking a voluntary withdrawal from the school, which is different from a leave of absence. “I don’t want other people to have to go through the same process that I did because it’s certainly not conducive to any kind of healing,” said Abramson, who feels Yale treats students’ mental health needs as “something to be punished and disciplined” rather than offering them care and support.
