Throughout history, changes in the relationship between a college and its students have reflected their respective changes in American society. Violence on campus has become a pressing problem for the modern university. To understand the current state of the mental health crisis on campus, one must understand the history of American higher education and student rights. This chapter will provide a review of mental health concerns on college campuses, describe key legal cases regarding the college’s role and responsibilities, frame the ethical issues surrounding patient privacy and public safety, and provide recommendations to colleges and mental health practitioners for managing the student in crisis.
