Sorry Michael but there is NOTHING that says my communication with a student is confidential, NOTHING establishes that kind of contract, especially when things are getting to the point of feeling unsafe. I am not a student's lawyer nor her therapist and even then the confidentiality is null if I feel there is a safety issue at hand.
This is a perfect example of when you document everything and make it public to the proper authorities, including your chair and campus security.
