The Minefield of Texas A&M Student Discipline

Blog entry here. Good warning for anyone facing "the system" at today's knee-jerk university "administrative hearings". Excerpt:

'The Appeals process was a minefield in its own right. Winning any appeal is like a snowball surviving in . . . well, you know where. Anyway, the Appeals panel would give great deference to the original panel's finding of responsibility. So, we worked like dogs to develop a showing the boy's student rights were violated and the evidence was insufficient to support the original finding of responsibility. After 3 1/2 hours of testimony and two hours of deliberation, the Appeals panel remanded the case back for a new hearing on the merits. We were relieved, to say the least. Although we'd hoped for a dismissal, as least we had another rare bite at the apple.'

Wow, didn't think I'd find my university mentioned on the Men's Activism home page.

I would like to note that it isn't Texas A&M that's the problem, it's academia in general. Most of you already know this though.

Most universities are so feminized, I'm surprised they don't have statues of women, along with a plaque claiming that they're all goddesses. It sure would be nice if it were as easy for a man to slander a woman's educational record. It would teach them how it feels.
