Overview
Legal settlements make it clear that, before students with mental health disabilities can be placed on a mandatory medical leave, their institution must assess if there are reasonable accommodations that can help them stay successfully.

The 115-page Dismissal Policies and Mental Health Disabilities Binder can help you handle "threat-to-self" scenarios in non-discriminatory ways while also taking into account individual student and community well-being.


Legal Consultant: Susan L. Wheeler is University Counsel for James Madison University. (Click here for full bio)

Topics Covered
Inside the 115-page resource you will learn about the following critical topics:
  • Introduction/History – Focus on Title II changes; Alleviate the “threat to self” confusion; Understand what’s required by relevant disability laws and the reality of mandatory medical leaves
  • Guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights – Review pertinent cases and what we can learn from them: before students with mental health disabilities can be placed on a mandatory medical leave, their institution must assess if there are reasonable accommodations that can help them stay
  • Reasonable Modifications and Disparate Treatment – Determine reasonable modifications that may allow a student who is a threat to self to stay on campus; Analyze disparate treatment (if a student is being treated differently, OCR will look at whether an institution has provided legitimate non-discriminatory reasons for its action) and standards to follow
  • Individualized Assessments – Examine objective evidence from mental health or other medical professionals; Mitigate risk and protect students and institutions; Determine who to involve and how to conduct the process so it’s not about mandating a “cure” but about how to ensure that a student can be on campus successfully
  • The Clery Act and Threat Assessments – Comply with campus obligations under the Clery Act; Conduct a campus threat assessment to ensure individual and community safety
  • Policies and Procedures – Determine where due process fits in; Draft policies, procedures and grievance processes so they’re clear to students and non-discriminatory; Apply best practices when it comes to using behavioral contracts; Conduct check-ins and collaborate with others
  • Training – Employ ready-to-use case studies, sample forms, Q&As with experts and other materials
