jesus christ i hate local news.

i was reading this article last night about how universities are expelling students for seeking counseling for depression/talking about suicide/attempting suicide and some schools are totally cutting out counseling programs, because that way they can't be held accountable if counseling doesn't help. that's logic.

also, i'm wearing a yellow shirt today and my hair isn't in my face. my emo score sucks.

[rellimgoud]

Yeah, that emo score thing is amazing.

What bothers me about emo is how identical it is to the pseudo-goth thing that was popular when I was in high school. They really could just dig up the same news clips and change a few words.

Those are some interesting policy choices that universities are considering. Obiviously, underfunding counceling services is not a solution to anything at all.

However, I think expelling/suspending students who are proved dangerous to themselves or others can be the right decision in some instances. It might force students into seeking more rigorous treatment and also prevent violent action. I'm thinking of the Virginia Tech situation in particular.
