The number of college students labeled with depression, anxiety, and other psychological problems is increasing, leading colleges and universities to provider a greater number of special accommodations for them.
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, as many as 25 percent of students enrolled in elite colleges are now classified as depressed, anxious, attention-impaired, and other labels that, under federal law, entitle them to special learning accommodations. Some students are labeled with more than one disability.
A simple note from a doctor allows a student to be classified as “disabled” and requires a school to provide the accommodations that correspond to his or her “disability.” An accommodation can be additional time to take an exam, seating preference in classrooms, permission to bring an animal to school for comfort, or other methods considered to optimize learning.

Those would be liberals.
Beware of the "Tide-Pod Eaters".
All their life people have been telling them they are special, and giving them a trophy for everything and making it seem like they never do wrong and it is always someone elses fault....then throw them out into the real world where none of those things are true anymore for them and this is what you get. You remove morals and accountability from their life and this is how they end up.
Somehow, some way (either tuition or TAXES) we end up paying for these "issues". Disabilities my @ss.

Is that before or after they graduate.
