Emotional support animals proliferate at Yale

Jacob Sweet   Apr 26, 2018

If you walked into the Grace Hopper College courtyard last year, you may have seen a cat on a leash. Last fall you might have seen a dog; this semester, there are two of them scurrying around Hopper.

These are emotional support animals. While Yale College does not allow students to live with pets on campus, University Policy 4400 allows students to live with emotional support animals, also called assistance animals, “on a case-by-case basis in a reasonable accommodation for a documented disability.”

I see this as a positive thing.

Who knows,Yale might even start graduating a few humans amongst all the robot clones?

And then when they graduate, they abandon them.

Our pets serve an emotional need in our lives, and for some a functional need as well. So, not sure if this policy is a good thing on college campuses or if it could be abused and get out of hand.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Good news for my daughter, bad new for her future college roommates.

Her horse can be rather temperamental.
