How would I start a petition drive?
Edited on Sun Jul-18-04 12:59 AM by Bushneedstogo
This is the thread that I am speaking about.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1413274

I am getting ready to break down because getting my degree was my life and right now my future has been pulled out from underneath me.

The emergency room at the hospital gave me Ativans and I am pretty out of it right now.

I have been crying since yesterday and my whole life has been destroyed because of this.

I wanted to get a petition drive going on the Internet some way so that i could possibly let the College know that people are out there that care about what happens to me and others that they decide that they don't want as students.

I wanted my degree so bad and I was suppose to graduate with my class in October and now I am in limbo.

One student called me and told me that they didn't want me at the College because I am an insurance risk and if I were to get hurt that would lose alot of money which does not make sense to me.

2. Have You Contacted the Education Department In Your State?
It sounds to me like what they did to you may have violated at least a few regulations.

3. I am so depressed today that I don't see a future for myself
I keep crying non stop because that was my future that I worked so hard on.

The College had me sign a paper that I would never take a day off and I signed it and I took one day off and they kicked me out. I was too sick to go in one day and I have a Doctors letter to prove it.

I wonder if they can do that to students that are on disability? Have them sign a form that you will never be sick or have to go to court or something or they will kick you out and keep your tuition.

:cry:
