Full Conversation

I was dismissed from the ABSN program at Mount Saint Mary’s University following an academic integrity incident. Throughout the process, the university violated my rights as a student, failed to provide reasonable accommodations for my disability, skipped procedural steps, and treated me with pre-determined bias. These actions caused significant emotional and educational harm. I am seeking legal counsel to address these issues and achieve a fair resolution, including financial compensation and adjustments to my academic record
