Natalie Slaughter
v.
Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine
Natalie Slaughter, who suffered from depression and was dismissed from her college program because of failing grades, appeals the grant of summary judgment in Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine’s (DMU) favor and the denial of her motions for admissibility of evidence regarding whether DMU had imputed knowledge of her disability when she received mental health counseling through the student counseling services and for summary judgment. Slaughter argues: (1) the trial court erred in finding there were no material disputed facts that DMU did not accommodate her mental health disability, and (2) the trial court erred in finding that the knowledge of an employee of DMU could not be imputed to the University because of the psychotherapist privilege.
