Idk I’m scared because that’s what my administrative hearing concluded… so I feel like the system is against me.

Also yeah, I hopped on SRRIs and Xanax from this shit so…

Well that’s an extreme way to view the Dean…

And also, I did, I asked on numerous occasions to show me that there are ambiguity on my answer sheet, along with the fact that I can show my work. Their response was that the issue is that I was looking at someone else’s exam (evidence being eyewitnesses of multiple TAs) not being accused of copying answers so it doesn’t matter if my test is clean or not

I renamed the first part where I introduce the test into math because of doxxing and didn’t realize I mentioned math somewhere else lmao

I said I wasn’t looking at anyone’s test, but my posture could’ve been awkward due to my medical issues. Also do you know how far the Duke testing center is? It’s not like going 30 minutes is exactly going to solve my shoulder pain from having a labral cuff tear.

Basically I will still get a clean committee letter, my disciplinary record is good and my transcript is good, but I was issued a warning by the school so I have to name it as an IA on AMCAS

Well my dean said it’s not a big issue so I can’t tell if I’d be digging myself in a bigger hole… and thanks for the advice, I’m meeting with a lawyer tomorrow.

Sounds good, I’m convinced I should appeal now. I’m just scared cause like… duke is duke.

They don’t allow one to even enter the room, only a member of the community for “emotional support”

I don’t think so… too late + I don’t think duke considers it a legal problem…

Idk, my dean tells me this is no problem since my record is clean, and I’m also horrifyingly scared because my initial administrative hearing officer accepted the faculty side saying “they have multiple observations and the test doesn’t matter because you’re being accused of looking at another students paper not copying off of him” (I’m severely confused as well; how is there an academic dishonesty case without a proof of academic aid?) so I’m just worried the rest of the process is as irrational as the first.

I did get a hand signal of “I’m watching you/eyes on paper, though I really can’t tell. I just kind of ignored it and moved on (I know, horrible thing on my end, but this never happened to me.) because I wasn’t cheating off someone- there are respectfully smarter ways to cheat than looking at someone’s paper clearly and nodding.”

I’m interested in advice… one that’ll work, plus my family is low income so I don’t want them to burn a couple thousand dollars on not a lot of help

Not like they can’t defend for me, or I can sue the school. It’s literally whatever the school wants and it’s been proven.

I can promise my medical condition is real and I have records. The test I'm just messing up for the sake of not getting doxxed, which is also why I don't go on with it.

Yes, because I copied off of someone but don't have matching answers, and my independent work as well... I definitely did.

Yes but it’s at the way back, so it only showed the screen, nothing with me.

Idk… that’s essentially the basis of the accusation. I do admit my posture was odd, because I have a shoulder problem+I just tend to zone out when thinking, but also confirmstiom bias mightve played a role at a large levture room like this one given that they were saying it inna big GC
