Joseph of Miami, FL on Oct. 8, 2013 Satisfaction Rating1/5 I was assaulted by one of the professors from the University of Phoenix. I tried to withdraw from the class, and they would not let me. When someone called to tell me I had to go back to the class, I told them I wouldnt for fear of my safety. They said I had no other choice but to return to class and deal with it. I got so terrified of this notion that I said, If forced to go back, I will defend myself by whatever means necessary, only if attacked again, when the person on the phone asked how I would defend myself. I was so scared of the idea of going back that I said I own a gun. It was stupid to say that but I was terrified of being forced to go back. After the conversation and explanation, the person on the phone had me suspended saying that I made a threat. I was not given any investigation or warning of what not to say, instead I was suspended. The person also called the police and exaggerated the whole conversation. Im only a couple of classes away from my graduate degree, and now I cannot graduate because I am suspended. I then received a letter about a committee to determine what sanctions they will determine I deserve. This school did not concern themselves with my safety. They chose to punish me regarding my futile attempts at dropping a class and explaining myself regarding how terrified I was about returning to class. I know now I should have never mentioned I own a gun. However it was said as an explanation and not a threat. Also, why was I told I had to go back to a class I was already assaulted in? Why did they handle the situation in this manner? Where the hell is justice in a situation like this? I now owe money for a degree I can never obtain because no one else will take more than 6 credits from the University of Phoenix. Now Im having trouble going to another University because I have a suspension on my transcript. It is still under committee review. However, I have not heard back from anyone in the University regarding sanctions if any. I feel so lost, and hopeless. I dont understand how my safety, livelihood, and dignity can be stripped away so easily. To top it off, employers dont even like the degree.
