University of Oregon, Confidence and Confidentiality Lost

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kristy-crabtree/university-of-oregon-conf_b_6849932.html

So this article was really interesting to me and I think you all will find it interesting as well! It’s about a girl who attended the University of Oregon who was sexually assaulted on campus. The article didn’t get into the specifics about the case but it stated that she filed a lawsuit against the University because they used information that was stated during her private sessions with the on campus counseling center in their defense. I know a lot of us are social workers so not only does it get into how a student’s university didn’t really help her when it came to this sexual assault, but it also talks about confidentiality in a therapy setting, which is something we know a lot about.

As this article gets out, a question I have for you all is how do you think this breach of confidentially and disrespect for what this girl went through is going to affect how girl’s trust their university when they go through something similar to this? Hearing  this story would make me a lot more cautious with letting my school know if something happened to me. Let me know what you think please!
