I was in Chapman's master's/credentialing program. I was expelled from Chapman with only one semester left to go. I had an argument with two professors regarding where I would be doing my student teaching who then, in turn, wrote a total of eight pages of complete lies and slander about me. It went before the Student Review Board-which was made up of four professors who work intimately with these two professors. How biased is that??? The next day they voted on my expulsion. I then appealed to the provost, but to no avail. I then went to the dean of the department who gave me an offer: "If you voluntarily leave the program I will pull the letter from your file." I told him that those letters of lies should not even be in existence. I told him I would not voluntarily leave. He said “Sorry” and I was expelled.
When I first went to the review board I came with all my documents that disputed everything these professors wrote, plus I had a 3.6 GPA and was never in trouble academically or socially, but it meant nothing to them. Those professors’ lies were gold in their eyes. I cannot afford a lawyer and have called many to see if I could get one on a contingency, but so far no such luck. I have found that a private school is an oligarchy. Thay can do whatever the hell they want. Now I am at square one with a $46,000 loan. Does anybody know how I can obtain justice????????
