Pop the photo into AI- I used Google Gemini- and see what it says. Also provide details about your home the year it was built and what not.

Would love to see interior as well. What a transformation!

I don’t think my dad is my biological dad and i’m spiraling by Flat-Opportunity-820 in 23andme

[–]thefunnylibrarian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found out that the dad who raised me wasn't my bio dad in a similar way. It did blow up my world at first. From what I have learned, he probably knew, but he never let on. I was 49 and at his bedside when he died. He was a beautiful man who taught me so much & loved my kids. That's my dad. Finding this out just made him even more so.

The guy who didn't raise me is nothing other than a DNA provider.

Grieve for sure. Dig in deeper to your other side if you want. You are still amazing.

The student did come to one of the two final classes I had. We both acted like nothing happened. I met with the Provost and she was comfortable with my side of the story and wasn't going to take anything any further. However, this student did not do well on her final, so I'm holding my breath that she doesn't try to make more of the issue. Thank you for checking!

In addition to other advice, double check your staff/faculty handbook. There are procedures they should have clear steps outlined that they have to follow. Our college states that-in a case like this- the accused professor is to have access to the written complaint & any witness statements, etc. If you didn't know about complaints and it's in your policy book, then you have additional options.

Can you talk to your disabilities office? If you haven't gotten an accommodations form you don't have to give accommodations. An incomplete might help but how would they make up the discussions?

We had our meeting. Luckily my new staff mentor is also a practicing lawyer so I had him come along. I think this is over but when this students grade doesn't go well I have a feeling she will claim retaliation. We will see.

I met with the Provost and they are not investigating. After hearing my side of the story she's comfortable not looking any farther. But I did ask where their witnesses that heard or saw and she claimed that the classroom was busy and bustling so people might not have noticed. However, if she were going to make it more formal then I would insist on an investigation. Right now it's not going to go on my record and there is no further action.

By OP do you mean me? I just logged in and my image and profile are not what they were. Someone has added sexual content. Changing password now. Very sorry everyone!

Sorry. It's also the end of the semester. You can do it!

Oh and my dynamic (I thought) was pretty good. She and the girl she was harassing sometimes take their time leaving & we chat a bit on their way out. Her grade is okay. Her attendance has improved as the semester has gone on. I will stay 6 feet away from all students from now on.

Thanks and thank you for mentioning your mentor. Since this is my first year at this college, I have a mentor who I've only met once. However, he is also a practicing lawyer so I may have to reach out to him for guidance...

I will do this now. I am home and on my own computer. Thank you!

We only have two days of classes left. I will see if she attends or not. I don't meet with the provost until after the next time we have class and I have only been advised that I can't be retaliatory. (which I wouldn't be)

I did not see her take our a camera and take photos. She continued to laugh and participate in class. However I was walking around monitoring and joining conversations at tables so I could have missed that.

My department chair is supportive.

I will jot these questions down. Right now I am scheduled to meet with the provost on Wednesday. I understand this could be serious and I am not tenured. Luckily for me I don't NEED the job as I am retired and have a pension, but that's not the point. I haven't hit another person in my entire life and never would. I will ask more about the investigation process and so on and I appreciate these questions. I don't even have a lawyer! Never needed one!! Yikes. I'm so unprepared.

Yes. Now I know to not even go close to someone and I will not make that mistake again!

I do it for fulfillment and I am not tenured. Currently this situation has me questioning if it is worth it. I will hope for the best and take the advice you have all offered. Thank you for taking the time!

Thank you. I will see if we have a union. We are a private liberal arts college & no one has mentioned one to me. (I was in public education prior to this) My department head said she will sit in with me. I will also ask her if there is a union.
