There is no such legal principle as "teacher-student privilege." And
while we usually treat sensitive information that a student has shared
with us confidential, in this case keeping the correspondence private
and not informing some administrator puts one in a very vulnerable
position. At the worst (and highly unlikely) it could be construed as
an indication that the attention was not unwanted. At best it prevents
any administrative support should this student make an accusation of
improper conduct on one's part.

I would also tell my chair and show any correspondance you've had
from her, and your typical response. Print out whatever you have
saved. You want something documented in case she decides to
retaliate, which she might once you cut her off.

No,No! Correspondence or communication between you and the student
should be kept private and
confidential.Do not get the chair involved in this.
