I quite agree with you, David. I would feel like I had failed my student if
I didn't inform them of the situation. But, I also don't want to get sued,
or unnecessarily damage someone's reputation. Let's say for purposes of
argument that this is one of those "gray area" harassment situations -
comments, looks, innuendo - stuff that would be extremely difficult to prove,
so the school hasn't really taken any action of its own. Am I legitimately
warning a student, or irresponsibly passing on hearsay? Can I come right out
and say "so-and-so has this reputation, and you should know about it before
you go study with them"?
