Just last week, it was revealed that Harvard has a huge mental illness problem, and now this.
The New York Post reports:
Staggering number of Berkeley Law students claim they’re disabled as ‘emotional disorders’ skyrocketAn eye-popping number of students at the elite UC Berkeley School of Law claim to have a “psychological” or other mental disabilities, according to university data — leading critics to accuse pupils of trying to game the system to gain an advantage in school.There are 378 law students in UC Berkeley’s Disabled Students’ Program, approximately a third of enrollment. That marks a massive shift from just five years ago, when only 3% of Berkeley’s graduate students claimed a disability.University-wide, the number of students in the disability program have steadily increased — going from 4,153 in 2020 to 5,711 last year. The school claims to be “one of the first campuses in the U.S. to begin accommodating students with disabilities.”The leading disability types across campus are classified as psychological or emotional disorders, as well as ADHD. Significantly less are the number of physical disability claims.Critics claim the numbers evidence of a “sham” by students to take advantage of woke considerations by educators to gain a leg up in school.The numbers are preposterous, said Andrew Testerman, a graduate of the law school who looked into the numbers.“At Berkeley Law, there are more disabled law students than there are male law students,” said Testerman.“We are asked to believe that students at elite law schools are significantly more likely to be disabled than our nation’s senior citizens.”The disability status unfairly gives students advantages, Testerman said.
