Question:
At the time she was told about the drug and alcohol testing policy, Janet Lanier was also asked to sign a release, stating:
To facilitate the City of Woodburn’s assessment of my fitness to serve in the position of Library Page, I hereby authorize the City of Woodburn, its officers, agents, assigns and employees to contact previous employers and other sources of information and to request, read, review or photocopy any and all information the City deems necessary to lawfully investigate my background for this position. This information may include, but is not limited to, my academic, residential, achievement, performance, attendance, disciplinary, employment history, and criminal history information.
I hereby exonerate, release and discharge the City of Woodburn, its officers, agents and employees from any liability or damages that may result from furnishing the information requested, including any liability or damage pursuant to any state or federal laws.
I specifically and permanently waive any rights I may have to review or inspect any and all of the information developed in this investigation.
Although she offered to give the library her references and authorized Sprauer to contact them, and to gather any other information that was publicly available about her, Lanier refused to sign the release. Why do you think she did not want to sign it? What function of privacy mentioned by Alan Westin might be implicated here?
