I am very interested to read what other's opinions are of this story, as I had not heard of this occurring. It did strike me as similar to being "bullied", which is receiving more thoughtful attention and proactive changes in schools, and perhaps this is what "good" can come from this awful situation. Of course it makes sense for the complainant to be the one to change rooms, but since there was a valid reason for her not to want to change (living in same room as her deceased husband), there should be room for flexibility in the system, and not have the burden of change on the person-being-bullied, but have the person who is doing the bullying and harassment take responsibility for changing behavior or being moved to an undesirable location...mental illness or not.
