Hunter College

New York - A depressed Hunter College student swallowed handfuls of Tylenol, but then saved her own life by calling 911. When she returned to her dorm room the locks had been changed and she was expelled from the residence. The 19-year-old had violated her housing contract by attempting suicide. She filed a lawsuit claiming the expulsion and lock out violated federal law protecting disabled people from discrimination. Hunter College, part of the City University of New York system, agreed to pay her a $65,000 settlement and abandon its suicide policy. (Sep-04-06) [FREE LANCE STAR]
