Some of you will have seen the post the other day. Apparently I made a girl “uncomfortable” via a text exchange (I assure you, there was nothing untoward on my part).
I pressed the University for details, and now I am told I am being formally investigated. They’ve formally accused me of misconduct, now, and told me that I must speak to them over the phone, this week…
For various reasons I won’t go into, I simply cannot do the phone thing, this week. I just can’t. I’ve told them so, and I’ve also told them that I will be seeking legal advice.
They linked me to a web page which essentially, very nebulously, outlines that anyone can make an allegation against a student, even anonymously, and it will be investigated, even if the situation in question has nothing to do with the University…
It even says “Anything can be sexual harassment, even if it only occurs once”. So I gather that is what I am up for…
Fuck me. This is so fucked…
This is the other big important thing yes, document everything.
Backup school emails
Yep. I think I’ll try and download/archive it all this week, just in case…
I did that have a backup when I started - it routed to a separate account.
Became far too enormous, though, unfortunately…
I’m almost 100% certain that this Uni actually has a policy against doing this, on your private device…
Which is ludicrous, and obviously in this case, fuck them, but it tells you something, doesn’t it?
They really want to control all our data… 😑
