A snippet: Concerns about the timeliness and effectiveness of the AAEO office [aren’t] new.

11/3/2015: Here’s hoping this hire will replace AAEO Director Penny Daugherty ASAP. I’ll post candidate materials as they become available. The President’s website link for this restarted search is here, job description here.
Another positive move by President Schill to address longstanding problems in Johnson Hall.

10/24/2015 update: From the Ornstein stories in the Chronicle and ProPublica:
“I don’t blame the University of Oregon for a rape,” she said. “It’s not their fault. I blame them for how they responded to it. I found out months later that every single meeting I had with a therapist, she took detailed notes on, and the University of Oregon had read these notes before I had even seen them.”
And now there’s a Slate op-ed about the reports, here:
Viewing medical records for medical reasons could help a university protect a student at risk of harm. But the University of Oregon’s meddling into Hanson’s private account of her rape would have only helped the university protect itself. The value of therapy lies in the patient’s expectation of confidentiality; if a student thinks her private exchanges with a doctor could resurface in the office of a university administrator, helping her heal will be much harder. A therapist’s office can be one of the only safe spaces available to a rape survivor on a college campus. Exploiting that trust to try to avoid paying a legal settlement is a cynical maneuver that can only exacerbate an already-low rape reporting rate.
The Jane Doe records seizure happened on Doug Park and Sam Hill’s watch. The Hanson incident apparently took place while Randy Geller was GC. I think the correct phrase here is “institutional betrayal”.
10/23/2015: Chronicle and ProPublica report on UO counseling record confidentiality
Reporting by Charles Ornstein, here. He picks up on the report first made in the Eugene Weekly in May by Camilla Mortensen, below. (Without citing her – wow is that bad form.)
Ornstein gets Doug Park to offer a complete and utter apology for the UO General Counsel Office’s behavior in these two cases:
involving the Lane County DA or the Eugene PD. Seems pretty broad: Arnold’s website is here.
10/14/2015: The NYT has the news here.
Whoops, that’s about Berkeley Astronomy Prof Geoffrey Marcy, not about UO AAEO Director Penny Daugherty.
10/12/2015: UO’s workplace relationships policy is broken
That’s got to be a tough job, given Ms Daugherty’s famous incompetence. I wonder how much experience Heroy has, and how much we’re paying her. Here’s the blurb from the Amitrius Coaching and Consulting website: Here’s Ms Heroy’s report on what UO is doing to reduce sexual assaults. Accomplishment #1? Hire…
7/30/2015: Full doc here. This is far short of the full investigation of Penny Daugherty’s operation of this office that is needed. Presumably the Senate will now have to vote for the administration to do this properly. 7/15/2015: UO uncertain if it has public records on AA investigator Burnside Dear Mr. Harbaugh: …
