This case examines the impact of barriers to accessing mental health care through the experience of an undocumented, queer woman of color and the fallout from administration’s response to student concerns.

This case focuses on a conflict between student affairs staff, academic administrators, and faculty during the investigation of academic misconduct. Central to the case is the disparate impact suffered by the student due to the intersectionality of her race, gender, and disability.
