Brown University students overwhelmed by class, activism
Kara BettisPROVIDENCE, R.I. – Students at Brown University are claiming that the combination of classwork and social activism is causing them mental anguish as they try to keep up with academics while maintaining a busy protest schedule, the Brown Daily Herald reported on February 18.
David, an undergraduate student whose name was changed, told the student-run paper that students are "breaking down, dropping out of classes and failing classes because of the activism work they are taking on." He added that "stressors and triggers" made it difficult to balance class, work, social time and activism.
