Wonder if she'll relapse.

UNC student says Web site is unfair

'GREELEY - Brittany Bethel says she is in the midst of a personal battle. "It is the hardest thing in my life," she said.

Now she says she is battling a public embarrassment as well and blames a feature on the University of Northern Colorado Web site.

"I was hurt and embarrassed and very upset when I actually saw my picture on the Web site," said Bethel.

Bethel is on UNC's banned student list. The list of names and pictures were posted on the site this week. The school says it is a response to the shootings at Virginia Tech University, but it admits not everyone on the list is a potential danger.

"It is associated with the shooting at Virginia Tech, so it's being implied that the people on it are somehow a danger to someone else and I am in no way a threat to anyone else," she said.

Bethel says she was working at the UNC recreation center in September when she collapsed from complications from an eating disorder. She says she was then diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa.

As a result, she says she was suspended from the university because she was considered a threat to herself which breaks the school's honor code of conduct.

It states that a violation includes, "Conduct which threatens or endangers the health, safety, or welfare of any person or university property."

The interpretation of "any person" includes being a danger to one's self.

So Bethel finds herself on a list with people who have been accused of criminal offenses. In fact, her picture is right next to Mitch Cozad, a former member of the football team accused of stabbing a fellow teammate.

"It is like I am being labeled a criminal," she said. "It is so hurtful to be labeled when you are struggling with something like this."

Nate Haas, a spokesman from UNC, says they cannot talk about a student's medical condition.

"The people are on the list for a wide range of reasons. They are not necessarily dangerous but they all violated the student code. They are not welcome on campus. We feel the Web site is important," said Haas.

Bethel wants the school to take her picture off the Web site or clarify that her suspension was based on a medical reason. She has not heard back from the university.

"I have been facing the hardest thing of my life. This is just adding a lot more stress," she said.'
