Sex occurs on campus

The director of counseling? How would we get ahold of him? He never ever posts here under various usernames. Not once.

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---Who told the girl's parents not to pursue legal action?  Was it her counselors or the administration?  If it were her counselors then they should talk to the director of counseling.  If it was the director of counseling then I don't know what to say.  HLA should stay out of that, if only to protect themselves.  The parents need to get a second opinion from an independent source.

The "Powers that Be" knew about this as did the counselors.

RobertBruce:
Things like this have gone on for years over there. Why are you now acting suprised?

HLA will try convincing you they do not allow romantic liasons between students on campus.  However, "dating" is the norm- many students are involved (romantically) with other students, and even manage to find unsupervised areas on campus in which to engage in sexual activity.  I am not refering to one, isolated instance, either, and assure you, although "prohibited", staff are often and admitedly aware these "relationships" between students exist.

It is impossible to have a co-ed campus and keep the kids from developing relationships with each other.  I am not concerned as much about the relationships the staff know about.  That just tells me they are in tune with what is going on.  I am more concerned about the ones they don't know about.  If staff know about students being sexually active and do not do anything about it or help hide it, then that is a problem.

I agree with your initial statement, but disagree with HLA saying (and stating in handbooks, I believe) that romantic relationships are not allowed (and even CONSEQUENCED), but knowingly allow them to go on.  It was another instance where we felt we had been misled by the school- as a prosepctive family, we were told romantic relationships beteen the students are disallowed, which was part of the reason we chose the facility.  After our student had been there 3 months, we find out our student's in a relationship the school knows about.  Hmmm.

You may have misunderstood what I said, initially- I did not accuse staff of knowing students were having sexual relations and not reporting them.  My complaint is that we were paying a heck of a lot of money for our children to be SUPERVISED at all times, but at numerous times with numerous students, that supervision did not exist, which allowed students opportunities to be sexually active.  And they were.

RobertBruce:
Alot of times the level of interference run on a relationship depended on the individual counselor. Some were vigilant about it, others just looked the other way. Breaking of the sex "agreement" (never quite got that one) almost always garrunteed some level of punishment.
