In what way is "allowing students to adjust to the collegiate workload" not "mental health"? I see no difference in this vs the MIT program in terms of reasoning aside from a slight difference in wording. Is the term "mental health" really such a blinding political football? Like "I hate Obamacare, but I love the ACA" and "Welfare is bad, but we need more assistance to the poor"?
