My fiancée almost lost her life to a medical emergency. The doctor needed me to stay home 2 weeks to supervise her post-operative care once the hospital discharged her. We had nobody near that could help so I got permission to attend class remotely for 2 weeks from the dean and all professors. One professor removed me from a graded argument the week after I’d return. When I asked about this error, he had said “I had planned on your failure to appear” and that he preplanned giving me a 0 grade.

I passed the course with a fine grade in the end but had to fight to be treated with dignity after that. It was odd because he was very cooperative in letting me participate remotely those two weeks which worked great, but seeing him write me out of future assignments that had I not fixed would have flunked me was just appalling.

I still have the email exchanges saved and plan to release them down the road maybe. My school’s administration and many faculty treated low income and disabled students very poorly. Sadly, my story isn’t the worst one.

I would like to first commend the attorney for starting this bowl. I attended a T4 school and was stuck in doc review for years. However through networking, I made connections which gave me a chance to get my foot through the door. One I did I knew they would have to physically drag me out of that firm if they wanted me to leave. Now I’m a partner at a multi-state/national firm. I’m always looking for similarly situated young attorneys to mentor and help. Anyone out there feel free to pm me.
