It looks that University is continuing to treat his absence with expected care, if not also generous care wrt his academic standing, his well-being, and his basketball scholarship and team activity status.
There are obviously protections of his HIPAA privacy rights. One might assume maintenance of his scholarship and active academic standing through the end of the school year could fall under university review soon. Winter quarter ends this Friday.
I would hope that a generous spirit - rather than only written policy or practice - is guiding UCLA in its relationship with Jalen. If, for example, Jalen is not matriculating (did not complete Winter quarter coursework, did not take steps to formally protect his academic standing by withdrawing, or take-and-pass exams), we may hear news of it soon.
The school has some degree of discretionary ability to review his unusual situation and consider the grant of special extension of his academic standing and scholarship standing beyond conventional guidelines.
Wherever this goes, I'm just hoping personally that he improves his situation enough to apply himself to whatever pursuits he and his family feel are in his best interest.
Go Jalen
