Editorâs note: This story contains mentions of sexual assault. Despite facing a rape allegation that camp leaders were aware of, an OU student was hired to work at Camp Crimson â a situation one national expert said administrators had limited options in preventing due to privacy laws and Title IX regulations. Courtney Foster, Norman Womenâs Resource Center assistant director, said a freshman orientation setting can be particularly vulnerable for students entering college for the first time, and involving someone even accused of rape can be dangerous due to the nature of the crime. Though the camp has recently been reformatted, she said the extended mentor-mentee relationships between staffers and campers it still boasts add increased risks.
