Calax Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 So, it turns out I do have a leg to stand on legally to sue the school if they don't sort out and fix the issue they caused. But that'll come at the end of everything I can possibly do within the bounds of the school to fix this... and then I'd have to find a lawyer who'd be willing to consider taking on the school itself. Joy of joys. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Gfted1 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 This past Saturday was my wife's 20 year high school reunion. She went to an all girls catholic school so I found it a bit humorous that the event was held at a bar. Forty five dollars a head bought you all the food and booze you could consume, except shots. Good times. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

Joy of joys. I find it weird that this even got to a legal state; as I recall you'd mentioned that your grades were wrong on the transcript which should easily be sorted out by the teachers involved. And if they're not available the dept. chair or dean. IIRC schools are obligated to require their teachers - for accreditation - to have 7 years (or is it 5) of grade books in case disputes arise. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

I stopped at ~5-6 Jack and Cokes but she and her girlfriends were pounding them down as fast as I could order them.

The grade was changed... however the termination and probations that the grade caused were not rescinded. Basically the answer I got was that they won't rescind the fact that I was terminated, or on probation, because that's how the grades worked out at the time, and even though the grades were wrong, that's my problem not theirs. Exact words were The LAS Academic Standards Committee cannot "change history" regarding the academic record, and so the dismissal notation will remain there. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

JFSOCC Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 explain to them that the history hasn't changed, it was misrepresented in the first place. You never had a failing grade. Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong.

Amentep Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I've worked at colleges for all my adult life and that makes no sense to me. If the grades changed and your GPA recalculated it means the academic record and academic history has already changed. The LAS ASC aren't changing anything - the faculty and records staff already did! Take it up the chain, for sure. Their stance doesn't make any sense.

Azdeus Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I've done that myself, it was called 3'd year of school. I was about to kill my teacher for wanting to send me back one year for failing PhysEd. Does'nt help that he and my father used to beat the living crap out of eachother when they were kids, and have hated eachother since then. Once I got him as a teacher and he learnt who my father was, my grades mysteriously fell from A and B to D's and F's (Not certain about the grading scale, but from very high to very low anyway). Word against word and ****loads of nepotism in that school, so I'm never getting that fixed.

I had to hit thirty before I understood that sometimes in the long term its better to stay home than go to work. Hahaha! Atleast you managed to make it out of that, while I'm still stuck in the black hole that is unemployment. I've never felt real want to not go to work, whenever I've had one, no matter how bad the job itself was - but I've never worked in an office, and I've always had great people to work with. I'd probably had gone ballistic though, if I had been subjected to something like you were, but I've been raised to have this sort of... naive and childishly absolute loyalty to my employer. Onwards!

No they're not; if the teachers and college records already changed the grade, then "history" from an academic perspective is the new grades, not the academic termination that the ASC is trying to hold onto. In other words, if he gets a transcript, he's not going to meet the academic termination criteria of the college, so why should it still be on his transcript. Its insanity. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Walsingham Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I agree with Nep. Sometimes you just have to listen to your personal 'front line'. If you can't face it, don't do it. Of course, you then have to go fix why you can't face it... "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.
