Summary
Grief in college isn’t just emotional—it’s academic, physical, and isolating. With over four million students grieving each year and fewer than 1% of schools offering formal bereavement leave, students are left scrambling for support, often facing inconsistent or nonexistent help from professors. Research shows losing a loved one can tank grades, prompting some schools like Purdue to act—but the push for nationwide policy change is still in its early stages. Advocates are now equipping campuses with toolkits and data to make the case: grief deserves structure, and students deserve to be seen.
