He's trying to have me expelled two weeks before finishing because he's mad I don't want to work in low income parts of Chicago that are high crime.

1.The fact that you do not want to work in that part of Chicago is because it is a high
crime area, not because you are racist and that jerk and bully needs to realize that.

2.That professor is a jerk and a bully who needs to be fired and go to jail

3.I hope you win your case against him!

4.Be strong!

Thank you for those wise words. Yeah I'm not sure working in bad areas makes one bad when those people are majority bad. Hopefully the professor at least will be suspended but I know how these things work where he'll likely face no consequences and I'll be suspended a long time or expelled. Professors seem to get away with things. I just want to be able to finish my degree and never deal with him again. I am 7 days away from finishing, I just want to do that. I am also doing an online teaching certificate but that is completely online, AND I was just chosen to join the honor society for that. I'm a 4.0 student who has a ton of society accomplishments. I'm trying to be strong but it is so hard not knowing. They told me it was likely because I am so close to finishing and have no other problems that I will likely be able to return, especially since I didn't hit anyone.

Does he have tenure? Those faculty are very hard to get rid of.

I'm sure he does but he is also close to retiring. I've heard he may retire this December or next year sometime (he is 70, almost 71).

You should've knocked his old ass down like from The Waterboy.

[IllinoisTVFan]

That would have been great but then I definitely would have been expelled.

Okay an update and it's not good. The professor filed a complaint against me in class because I said things that were considered threatening. Yes I said these horrible things but was provoked badly. The professor has bullied me for months (I made an earlier post on this) and bullied me in class. I started to leave and he continued and another student then bashed me for not wanting to work in bad areas and that makes me a racist. I said I'm not racist but then he called me a racist, and then fat b---. I was walking towards him to confront him and my professor pushed me. He then called me names and I was leaving and I blurted out something like "I hope you die". I shouldn't have but I did.

While it’s good you’re tough, it sounds like you’re becoming a classroom distraction. I’m afraid to say it but this sounds like an unpleasant situation for everybody in that class and it’s escalated to a point it’s no longer just about him and you. Walk away. Move on to something else.

Well I am 55 hours away from finishing, which is 1 1/2 weeks. What I am going to suggest is that my internship be turned over to the head of the program, or her and my professor. That way I can avoid him alone, and finish my internship. I am hoping this is what happens.

Im so sorry..... I hope this gets stopped s00n!!!

Thanks, hopefully it will end with me doing independent study (which once you hit 300 hours you are done with the class and I'm at 245) and not dealing with him.

Get this, I go to the conduct hearing today and saw that several of my classmates LIED about me, including saying I was never bullied when I was. How low can you go? I know they did this because of the professor.

Yeah. Unfortunately he controls their grades. And you don’t have the same kind of power in that scenario.

[IllinoisTVFan]

Exactly, and that's why they lied. He bullied me for months and now they lie. I really hate this program (but like my internship and my other program)but want to finish since I am two weeks away from finishing. I don't really like most of my classmates because they are extreme SJW (they would make you look like a conservative because you're on the left but not a nut).

Thanks. I consider myself economically very liberal and more Conservative socially, so you are correct in that I probably wouldn’t get along with your classmates as I am not an SJW.

A lot of SJWs are in fact fiscally conservative, so I don’t get along with those types at all. It’s one thing to say you support equal rights for women, but if you don’t support paying them a living wage(as everyone else should get) can you really say you support women?
