[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1000% wrong for this dean no question.

However, it also struck me as sad that this student's perception of the relationship was another manipulation by her parents to reframe what had included positive experiences into one that was labeled as only manipulation and abuse. I wish her parents had handled her own mental health better in this situation. There were ways to identify the Dean's action as fully inappropriate behavior (thus there is school policy against it) without leading Haas to being fully embarrassed and led to reframe the relationship so that she now feels that nothing was real and it was all manipulation and abuse. It sounds to me like they both genuinely had feelings. Sure, they both need to come to terms with it and the Dean is responsible for acting on those feelings and for all of the pain it caused the student.  But, parents were rightfully upset and it was right for the Dean to be fired and held accountable....so I can understand their actions too.

I'm saying I feel bad for Haas also because her parents took no care in their response to consider how their view of this relationship would damage her psyche. Haas was not feeling harmed or used when she ended the relationship.  She ended it because she had moved onto another relationship.[/quote]

But she realizes now just how exploited she was. And she was exploited. [/quote]
