This means that even though the University deemed it necessary for a student like Helen to disclose her incident of victimization, she still opted to keep her privacy, preferring confidentiality and anonymity in order to protect herself from being involved in a sensitive issue such as sexual harassment. Helen's actions may be construed as her own way of avoiding the stigma that inevitably results out of her being a victim of sexual harassment.

The University can argue that her case would help the institution deal effectively and justly to future incidences of sexual harassment and be able to provide Helen with the justice that she deserves, having been unfairly taken advantage by another individual under the University's authority......
