                  %ADMINISTRATIVE VIOLATING PRIVACY 791114

     Administrators  have  often  felt  that  they  had  a
responsibility  to monitor and regulate the private  lives
of  their employees.   They feel that their superiors have
given instructions to that effect,  even though there  has
never   been  any  formal  action  taken  to   give   such
instructions to the administrators,  and such instructions
have not in fact been explicitly given.  Often the victims
of such violations of privacy accept the "reality" of such
implicit instructions.  Such victims do not point out that
the    administrator's    problem   is    occasioned    by
administrator's  assuming responsibilities which have  not
been  imposed  explicitly upon the  administrator.    What
administrators  have  been  given (in a  legal  way)   the
explicit  responsibility  to  monitor  and  influence  the
private  behavior  of  employees?    If  an  administrator
arrogates  such  a  responsibility it is helpful  for  the
victims   of   the  invasions  of  privacy  to   ask   the
administrator  whether  superiors have in fact  instructed
the  administrator to monitor and influence  subordinates'
private lives.  Asking that question may in fact solve the
administrator's  problem  by freeing the administrator  of
the  sense  of  responsibility  to  monitor  and  regulate
private lives.   Properly asking the question may make the
administrator  hesitant to try to monitor/control  private
lives  without  formal  and  explicit  instructions   from
superiors  who  are  willing  to  answer  to  charges   of
violation of constitutional rights.   If the administrator
can  be  set  free  of the  sense  of  responsibility  for
subordinate  private  behavior ---  then the administrator
will  not  have  a problem occasioned  by  allegations  of
improper  behavior  on  the  part of  subordinates.    The
administrator  tries to solve his/her problems.    If  the
private  behavior of subordinates is not a problem to  the
administrator --- then the  administrator is not likely to
get involved in it in any way.

     If  the victim of a violation of privacy accepts  the
presuppositions  of the administrator who brings  charges,
then the victim is engaged in a losing battle.  The victim
and  the  administrator  become  wedded in  a  process  of
generation  of guilt and alienation.   They must act out a
drama  according to an implicit script which they are  not
free  to examine critically.   Their behavior tends to  be
collusively reflexive, rather than thoughtful and helpful.
