Was this Harassment?
A friend of mine mentioned to me that the issues I faced with a professor during my senior year of college was harassment and that I should file a case against her. I just wanna be sure I'm not blowing something up to be more than it is.
A an overview. I gave a professor a letter I had detailing my disability. Since I gave her the letter she began treating me as if I am slow or mentally challenged because I'm deaf.
she followed me into the restroom while I was vomiting to scold me on an essay I wrote. She pulled me out of other classes to try to convince me to drop my major several times. She even followed me to my bus to go home to ask me about changing my major and taking lower level classes. She followed me through the halls and stairwells.
Once my mother called me during class because I had an issue with the university stealing funds from my scholarships and grants. and I almost was evicted from my apartment due to the missing funds. I told my professor "I'm sorry this is very important" and I stepped outside she followed me immediately and told me to come back. I stepped into an empty classroom and she followed me there. Asking me if I was coming back.
Several times she's seen me talking to a student in the hall and she stood in the middle of our us or she tap me on my back to get my attention after I've told her not to touch me.
She's pulled my bag with me wearing it. After spending time during class making jokes about me that no one found funny.
She disrupted a final I had with another professor not once but three times. The other professor let her do it and then asked me to proctor an exam for her to "get back on her good side".
She withheld grades from classes and refused to give them so I got no credit for classes I had taken with her. She misplaced my work and called me a liar in front of my peers saying I never turn my work in.
I was having dizzy spells(due to a neuro condition which she knew about) and I collapsed so I missed her class. When she saw me she asked me "will you be operational next time?." And gave me a lecture about missing class.
To make it worse the dean is her friend and he allowed her to do this to me. This is not all that she's done either. She did not treat me this bad until she found out I was a student with a disability. I know all this is bad but I don't know if a lawyer would see this as harassment and did discrimination and make a case.
