In Part I of the first episode of "A Blight on the Hill," we'll be discussing mental health leave, and why students struggling with their mental health are often urged off campus, only to later face a difficult readmission process. We spoke to Tufts senior Cris Paulino about their experience with mental health leave, and Maura Klugman, senior attorney at the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law. Stay tuned for Part II.____________________________If you want to learn more about mental health leave, here are a few online resources: "How Colleges Flunk Mental Health" via Newsweek: https://www.newsweek.com/2014/02/14/how-colleges-flunk-mental-health-245492.html"Feeling Suicidal, Students Turned to Their College.
