Accused, Removed from Project, Sick with UoW's Injustice, Very Depressed :'(

Hello People,

At the beginning of the academic year my supposed supervisor had removed me from his project.

First I received an email from the Head of Conduct and Appeals and had an informal meeting with her, when she informed me that my supervisor no longer wished to have any contact with me and had made some false allegations against me. I have tried to explain to everyone: the Head of CaA, Student's Union, Head of the School, Dean of Students, to no avail.

This has led to a major depressive episode this year and two suicidal attempts in early November.

Please, this is not a troll post, I really do not know to whom to turn to for justice. It's like the Uni is deaf to what I say.

So I ask you people, how can I find an answer to all this? I was so happy to have that project since it is related to the area I want to follow professionally but I am simply so disheartened with UoW .

Thank you.

What were the accusations? It seems that they know he lied, so what's the problem? Can't you appeal? Also no offense but it's January now, not sure if there's anything you can do after such a long time.

I do not wish to reveal the accusations but I was presented in a manner that was not me at all.

I have raised a complaint against the situation but none within the Conduct and Appeals Unit have considered it, and only his version of the story was assumed the true one.

I have mitigated my project module so I don't worry whether it's January now.

There's simply no justice in this University, if none of the Deans do anything I will withdraw as I won't risk another suicidal episode .

Well, without knowing what the accusations actually are, it's kinda impossible to give you any real advice. What sort of evidence was provided by your supervisor?

You keep going on about justice, but your situation really needs to be independently assessed, so someone can make sense of your situation. That way you cna be told the merits ior weaknesses of your case and how best to present it. You arent the best person to do this.

I do not know. He simply presented me in a manner that was not me. I was told not to speak to other staff about it (i.e. not seek in any way).

This is what has baffled and infuriated me. What evidence does he have? They just believed everything he said.

I know, that is why I asked for info on how to handle it and seek a solution. The Uni people will just side with the staff and proclaim the student as the one in fault.

Thank you for your post.

This is really strange... But it sounds pretty serious. I don't know what to advise you, though, other than checking what their formal appeal procedure is and making a formal complaint against him. I don't think you really want to continue working under him, though.

I spent a long time suggesting where you couild get help yesterday. Its impossible to give any advice without someone assessing your situation. I dont know if your case is weak or strong, its not clear what the dispute is about other than your behaviour. All that would be deal with by seeing an advisor and them assessing all the evidence. You arent in the right frame of mind and probably lack the skill or exeprtise to do so.

There are rules and prcedures. There is evidence. There are ways of constructing your argument. At the moment you make lots of claims and wont say what its about. Impossible to advise on. Go and see someone.

Why not talk to one of the charities hat has expertise with your mental disability and maybe they can help you resolve matters or get you to focus on the right areas. Im not asking what the issues are, just tbhhat in my experience theres a lot that doesnt make sense and a lot of things that need to be checked out to get a proper grip on the situation and tell you how best to act in your own interests. You probably arent he best person to do that.

Dear 999tigger,

Thank you for taking your time to post and help me somehow. I have an appointment with the Dean of Students tomorrow about the Stage 2 level my complaint has reached. From his email to me it is clear what and where he aims to direct our meeting. I just cannot withstand this injustice in the University of Wolverhampton. I have decided to withdraw with a heavy heart I cannot go through another suicidal episode. Today I had the caspules in my mouth a spat them out. I don't think that will happen next time. This situation has made me feel so languid. I have phoned the studentdisabilityline today but no one answered the phone.

I don't think there's anyone who can help me in my situation. Thank you for your attempts to alleviate my position. It's been truly heartening to see genuine people to help.

Thank you. Best regards, prosperity
