...money when the government has a budget deficit of €47 billion? That's the dilemma. Surely it is not politically feasible to talk about university fees.

...college students who each year are forced to make such stark choices. With two recent court rulings holding that college administrators may be held partly responsible for student suicides--which total some 1,100 a year nationwide, making suicide the second leading cause of death among college students, after motor-vehicle accidents--many universities have hastily adopted mandatory-leave policies in an effort to reduce the risk of self-inflicted, on-campus deaths. But a tragic result, say psychiatrists and student advocates, is that emotionally distressed students may be less willing to come forward and get the professional help they...
