Hi, some of the professors at college of dupage and at University of Illinois at Chicago gave me a hard time / harassed me. I confronted one of them about it, he told me not to take offense to it. So I am unsure of what the motive for the harassment was, but what should I have done? What is the procedure for something like this? Why would any professor ever harass a student?
I ended up quitting school (mostly because of the harassment) and I started up again and got my degree from an online school.

It depends. What type of harassment? If it was sexual, then you could take it to campus security and probably get him fired.

If it was because you were late to class, turned in homework late, or didn't shower for weeks on end, then it was probably justified.

Its hard to understand without more details.... I harass students all the time, but never in an unjustifiable way. If I'm annoyed with a student, I let them know.

was the harassment based on any of these protected classes?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_class

generally if he was giving you a 'hard time' college professors can do anything they want. its their class and if they dont like you they can ask you to stop coming and the univ. will give you a refund in most cases if he insists you be barred from his classroom.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume this is a "wahhh my professor picked on me..." thread... and say..

If you're in college.. you're supposed to be an adult. Grow the fuck up. Life isn't all lovey dovey..you get picked on at work ... in life... either get used to it... or remove yourself.

i'd like think it was something serious if it caused you to quit school. I'm guessing some sort of racial harassment. And since it apparently happened a while ago, you may have no recourse. We definitely need more details.

Based on your username.. i bet the Professor said something like:


Ok Everyone... Class is cancelled for the rest of the day, due to someone calling in a bomb threat. Does anyone know the whereabouts of Sadaiyappan?

The harassment was body language, not teaching the class properly, acting stupid on purpose, indirect verbal harassment.

Maybe he is one of those kids that was never told "no" growing up and his parents bought him "A's". When he got to college he was told "no, you got a D because you didnt do the work". Probably has no sense of personal responsibility. He now see's a campus councler because he wants to off himself.

But who knows. Vague post :)

Sounds to me like the professor did his job: weed out the weak who aren't there to be prepared for the real world.

That sounds like schizophrenia. I think you're seeing shit that isn't there. If you hear voices, and nobody's in the room, don't listen to them, k?

Unless you tell us specifically what he did you will get no help from atot. By specific I mean detailed, none of this "he said stuff and did things" b.s.

So a professor at COD gave you a hard time. THen you went to UIC and another professor gave you a hard time? What kind of harassment did you suffer from? Sexual, gender, racial, religious, etc?

did he grab his dick and look at you?

not teaching the class properly?

Perhaps you need to reach into your vagina and pull your penis out.

BWHAHAHAHAHA, HA HA HAHA HA!

The very fact that you are crying about this here justifies the harassment that you received from the teacher.
