Subject: Fwd: Campus Therapy Records Safety -- TIME SENSITIVE REQUEST FOR ACTION

 

Dear all, 

 

I just saw this message in my inbox. I have not had a chance to read it, but I think very highly of the author and of Dr. Freyd, who passed it along. Therefore, in light of my regard for professors Bonine and Freyd and the time sensitivity I am sending it on even though I haven't read it yet. 

 

Best,

Nancy

Subject: Campus Therapy Records Safety -- TIME SENSITIVE REQUEST FOR ACTION

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Today, October 2, is the deadline for commenting on the most recent Dear Colleague letter that addresses the safely of therapy records for survivors of sexual violence on campus.

I have attached that letter as well as a comment on it from law professor John Bonine. Below I list simple way you can take action today.

This ED development follows developments at Oregon on this matter as it played out here and continues to unfold.  I think we have a major victory at Oregon as of last night (see second of two links below on that).  (There was much work to get us to this point and we need to keep on this both locally and nationally.)

• State board proposes fine, ethics course for University of Oregon psychologist: http://www.oregonlive.com/education/index.ssf/2015/09/state_board_proposes_5000_fine.html
• UO President acts to issue strong policy (right after the UO senate put the issue on the agenda for Wed): http://uomatters.com/2015/10/president-schill-and-gc-kevin-reed-announce-strong-counseling-confidentiality-policy.html

How to take action today?

Send emails and either comment yourself on the Dear Colleague draft or if you prefer, simply say you endorse the comments sent by UO Law Professor John Bonine.  Send you comments TODAY to both:

• Email to the Chief Privacy Officer, who wrote the Aug Dear Colleague letter: 
• Email to the official commenting account: 

Thank you,

Jennifer
