Higher education must redouble its efforts to ensure students receive needed mental health treatment before an illness devolves into a campus crisis. However, some students may be reluctant or unwilling to receive the help they need. Your institution must prepare for those reactions by developing and implementing a student medical leave (SML) policy that provides for care while still protecting itself from possible liability.

Join us for the Understanding the Legal and Practical Implications of Student Involuntary Medical Leave web conference to consider the legal issues that have shed light on the involuntary student leave framework and how those insights should be woven into a comprehensive policy.
