I suspect this will be an unpopular view, but how about not admitting kids with mental illness and substance abuse problems like the kid featured in the article? I'm sorry, but what did anyone expect was going to happen? 

And his sense of entitlement is amazing to me. He expected that Stanford was going to give him a ton of resources on top of what is almost certainly a free education or nearly-free education? My god.
