    And yet they are probably going to continue the fiction that Ole Miss and Mississippi State are actually two separate institutions.

    The argument for programs "pulling their financial weight" is why only PE is taught in redneck schools. You think Arithmetic pulls its own weight? When is the last time you went out and bought a ticket for one?

    Well, the chairman of the Republican Party is of African-American descent, so racism's solved!

    This proposal does not go far enough. All the historically black and women's colleges should be merged into one Giant Historically Black Female Robot!

    Perhaps the courts will have to step-in, but what I found somewhat troubling in the linked article is the way, the prose and quotes kept referring to the affected institutions as "black colleges".

    As Pareene points out and the article occasionally admits, they are "historically black colleges". To simply call them "black", sort of screams separate, but equal.

    I hate to agree with Haley Barbour on anything, but Hillman College students never seemed busy enough for me. I mean, how did Dwayne Wayne not fail out?

    Destigmatization is part of it, as well as the "come talk about whatever's bothering you!" approach of college counseling services.

    I'd also put a lot of it on the high-pressure upbringing a lot of these kids endured. Combine paranoid, overprotective parenting with an overemphasis on achievement and the constant drilling/special classes/application padding some parents put their kids through from birth, and you're going to get people who implode once they get to college. #college

    Kids, be careful. My roommate in college went to the mental health services for depression and anxiety. The psychiatrist put him on an experimental drug that set off loud spring noises in his head and made him punch the wall in his sleep. #college

    It's because they want to score Adderall. I've thought about posting a definitive guide on how to do this. The only thing holding me back is the fact that my doctor might see it. #college

    This is because mental distress has become completely de-stigmatized. In addition, traditional methods of dealing with stress - internalizing it, hoping it goes away, drinking heavily - are forgotten in favor of heading to the shrink every time there's some sort of existential dread. Plus every school is so afraid of suicides that I'm surprised they don't just pump a cocktail of SSRI's into the water supply. #sarcasm

    Maybe, just maybe, the kids care more about mental health and understand it more than older generations. Maybe they think "crazy" and "nuts" are pejoratives used by unhealthy, machine-hearted people. #college

    Clearly the way to solve this problem is by increasing the number of drinks that constitute a binge. Four to five? That's not a binge, that's dinner.
