2012 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 23-9.2:8 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 23-9.2:8. Policies addressing suicidal students.
The governing boards of each public institution of higher
education shall develop and implement policies that advise students, faculty,
and staff, including residence hall staff, of the proper procedures for
identifying and addressing the needs of students exhibiting suicidal tendencies
or behavior, and provide for training, where appropriate. The policies
shall ensure that no student is penalized or expelled solely for attempting to
commit suicide, or seeking mental health treatment for suicidal thoughts or
behaviors. Nothing in this section shall preclude any public institution of
higher education from establishing policies and procedures for appropriately
dealing with students who are a danger to themselves, or to others, and whose
behavior is disruptive to the academic community.
