The mistake was seeking counseling at a college. You just shouldn't do that. I think many students would be surprised to find they have no doctor-patient confidentiality and, in fact, there are several documented instances of colleges using medical records or therapy notes against students as part of disciplinary hearings or to defend against lawsuits. That shouldn't be allowed and I hope someone fixes it.

But I think the answer is to seek help off-campus. Not to avoid getting help.

Well, yes, I think a lot of people would be surprised to learn these things, which is part of why this article is being written.

Yes, and I hope people take away "we need to close that loophole" and "students should seek help off campus" NOT "don't seek help"

I don't think that's really what this article is arguing for either.
