Re: Should universities allow "ESA" Emotional Support Animals in dorms?

There's not always a standard enforced on who "gets the doctor's note", as it were, for ESAs. Depending on what therapist you go to, you can fairly easily score an "official note" after even a single session, because some therapists recommend ESAs like it's going out of style. Shitty therapists are all over the place. While this isn't commentary on the necessity of ESAs in general, it's true that it would be pretty easy to find someone who will agree that your pet ferret is now officially a support ferret and you must be able to bring it with you anywhere.

Shitty therapists are all over the place - but so are shitty doctors. Lots of disabilities COULD be faked to get any random accommodation/medication/whatever. Frankly, I know more people with real disabilities who aren't given the accommodations they require - ESPECIALLY by colleges. Colleges are often very strict about accommodation. So, there isn't really a hoard of students bringing fake emotional support animals into dorms - I have known two people who got theirs approved and they went to two totally different schools. And both of them had a real, demonstrable need for them and greatly benefitted.

I definitely agree that there should be an enforced standard of care for ESAs just like any other animal, but I do think you're overstating the issue of college students faking it.
