A new guide for college students seeking aid for mental health was released on Tuesday by Leadership-21, a group of mental health leaders affiliated with the advocacy group Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law. The guide, titled, "Campus Mental Health: Know Your Rights," delineates college students' treatment options and explains their legal rights while battling mental illness. The publication includes topics such as advice on finding treatment, whether colleges can ask students to take a leave of absence because of treatment, students' privacy rights and family support systems. The Bazelon Center has previously acted on behalf of students who have been dismissed from college campuses because they sought mental health treatment for depression. The 27-page guide is being promoted by the mental health advocacy group Active Minds at colleges across the country and can be found online. Some mental health professionals who work at colleges have expressed criticism of the guide, claiming that the guide would be more effective if the members of Leadership-21 had consulted college mental health professionals, but, overall, they agree that it will be helpful for many students.

This standard of evidence applies not only to academic infractions, but to all physical and sexual assault cases. The Assembly committee in 2006-2007 suggested that the COS instead require "clear and convincing evidence" on each of these fronts.
