2012 SESSION
12105085DBe 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. 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.
