Harassment, discrimination, assault.

Months before I was due to graduate, I faced harassment from two Physics and Astronomy department heads due to having a disability. I submitted a harassment complaint and instead of resolving the situation, the dean of the science faculty, the vice provost student experience and vice provost EDI retaliated and I had to deal with assault from an associate dean. The math courses, physics courses and computer science courses I took were universally poorly taught, and poorly administered. There is no support for students with disabilities and those who are othered are treated harshly and unfairly.
