The notes from CM251 states that higher education needs to find a way to identify and deal with the students who may not be appropriate to the postsecondary environment without excluding students with psychological disabilities who are capable of functioning well in college.

I agree that we must address the needs of Soldiers who are deemed not fit or inoperable because they suffer from depression, PTSD or other psychological concerns. But how do we do it without discriminating against those with mental or psychological disorders. Opportunities are needed without regards to unproven and feared ideology about their ability to function within an educational institute and deal with their psychological disorders. This continue to be true for educational opportunity because there is a lag in addressing these concerns for veterans who needs to do both be educated, find employment and to be treat for their PTSD/diagnoses... How do we address these concerns at small schools who may not be equipped internally to deal with psychological and mental problems?
