What it says to *me* is that the school is under fire from parents or students who are claiming that the schedule or the pressure is causing them to have mental breakdowns, then are bringing lawsuits. "Oh boo hoo, poor little me, I couldn't deal with the pressure and it made me have a nervous breakdown and now the school should have to foot the bill for my many prescriptions and for my continuing psychological scarring".
In other words, I think they're trying to absolve themselves of any responsibility for said problems, and to get people to deal with their issues on their own -- medicated or not. They just don't want to be blamed for every little thing that goes wrong in a student's life. Which is the way it should be.
And just to reiterate: needing medications to cope with certain problems in one's life does NOT make you weak.
