What is the name of your state? Texas
I am an instructor at a private post-secondary school and I recently (last week) had 2 students drop from my class to attend another school. After the drop was official, they returned and went to the school's President and proceeded to make a list of accusations against me personally. A couple of them were true but the majority of them were not. (there is evidence to back this up) This prompted an investigation of my fellow co-workers, my current students, and myself. They were each questioned about specific accusations made by dropped students. One of my students ("friend" of the accusers) came forward and said that this was a planned attempt by the 2 girls to avoid having to pay back any financial aid. The 2 girls have since visited the school everyday (reason unknown to me) and called several of my current students to inquire about my status and to encourage them to do the same thing so they wouldn't have to pay any owed tuition. Here are some of the accusations made against me:
1. I called one of them a "sassy f**king b*tch
2. I passed out answer keys to tests while students were taking the test
3. I have gone out with students from previous classes in a social setting (something about lesbian/lesbian bars)
4. I give undeserved extra credit for low test scores
5. I don't do anything in the classroom and they aren't getting their monies worth.
6. I made a statement regarding my husband spending $600.00 a month in "crank"
7. I curse all of the time in class
I was given a "warning" and told that it was "water under the bridge". It remains a topic of discussion among my co-workers and students. I was denied the opportunity to take an extra class/extra hours (it is one that i have been covering for the past two weeks and will continue to do so until class exits and new instructor can go through a 3 week orientation) so that I can "concentrate on my day class". I was also told during my formal warning , by my immediate supervisor, that this had caused him to lose any trust he had in me to teach a class without supervision. I have been employed as an instructor for almost 5 years and have never had any complaints filed against me by students. Is there any action I can take against my 2 previous students for all of this?
