I spoke out, faced consequences, but somehow, i know i did the right thing

I know how much mess my faculty creates. They purposely delay the research proposal defense of the students. Thus, a 2 year degree program takes 3 to 4 years to complete. Instead of complaining to the president of university, i wrote an email about the issue to the HOD directly and she called me in her office that how much "Offensive" my email was!
"You are calling out my department?" "Are you accusing us?" ""How dare you!" "You are just a student"
TBH, For the first, I was chill, even though she was yelling at me. It was because i knew i did the right thing. There is a bizzare hegemonic environment in my university. No student dare to complain despite paying the fees. They dont report the issue even though they know they are being affected. They listen to their insults even when they know that authority and administration is responsible for this shit. Education hegemones think that they can yell and pressurize anyone, but this time it was me.
I clearly told her that i stick to my email. I know the hardworking intelligent students who are unable to complete their degree because of your department. She threatened me that she can send my email to the authority and get me expelled, but i didnt give up and challenged her that i know whats going here. At last, she "gave me a warning" and let me go. The reason Im writing this is to let you know that just know the basic rules of your institution. Sometimes, we fear these people without knowing the rule. As in my case, the HOD clearly got the idea and i am not like her other students who nod without knowing the rules. I knew that my email cannot get me expelled at any cost. And she knew that if she takes me to the president, then i will let him know the negligence of this department. Thus, she had to let me go. So next time when you witness something wrong in your university, go through the "terms and conditions" and then challenge the authority without fear. Trust me, they cant do most of the things they say! Really!
Hava a nice day everyone!

I appreciate your boldness👍. Stick on to your rights and face the issue with HOD or even the President. Because the education system itself stupid as for as I'm. So now the department will have an eagle's eye on you and the same time they for the first time facing the complaint from a Student. They have prestigious issue now.
