Rumor has it that they’ve now fired at least one of the counseling center employees who objected to UCTC Director Shelly Kerr’s decision to hand over “Jane Doe’s” confidential counseling records to the UO General Counsel’s office.
Now confirmed, by Diane Dietz in the RG here. Ms Stokes’s special crime? Telling the truth:
Karen Stokes, former executive assistant to the director of the counseling center, announced her dismissal in an e-mail broadcast to counseling center staff today.
Stokes and senior staff therapist Jennifer Morlok alleged in February that the university interfered with the student’s care and took the student’s private medical records — to prepare for litigation — without the student’s permission.
In Thursday’s e-mail, Stokes wrote: “I am disappointed that the UO has chosen this course of action. I, along with Jenny, had hoped that our letter of concern regarding the medical records that we believe were unethically and illegally disclosed would promote positive changes.
“Instead of taking our concerns to heart and recognizing the courage it took to come forward with such concerns, the UO appears to be more concerned about defending itself and attacking those who brought the ethical and legal concerns to light,” Stokes wrote.

      We’re still negotiating – I’m holding out for a full Gott, but they say not a penny more than $470K.

        Only 470K? That’s only 0.1566 Helfrichs!

    Do they have any protection against whistleblower retaliation, or are they stuck since the problem was moral, not ethical?
    Any union recourse possible here?

      They’ll need to join a union first though. OAs are late to the party.

    Hell, this isn’t even good brand management. There’s no angle from which this makes the least bit of sense. It’s cruel, vindictive and almost sure to bring at the least national, public outcry and at the worst a wrongful termination suit or yet another civil rights suit.
