My question involves education law in the State of: Florida.
Context: I go to a state university and have been getting into trouble: Both criminal and academic. I generally feel that I don't get into as much trouble in my hometown in South Florida, as I do in North Florida. Also, I happen to be Hispanic. Actually, I've never run into the police in South Florida, but that's not the case in Gainesville. Apparently, a certain associate dean took it upon herself to make my life miserable by telling me to visit a therapist 10 or more times before she can even consider allowing me back in (i.e. allow me to register). It's offensive, because she is snooting into my affairs, and she's not exactly an expert on that matter; she has an Ed. D and acts like she has an MD. She's the only one in the Dean of Students office to have given me a hard time. What should I do? Ideally, someone would just fire her, just because of the stupid things she does. For example, she wants a letter from a therapist written in official stationary, she keeps a candy dish on her office desk, and every time I talked to her, she seemed so predictable. Anyway, there are no guarantees if I transfer schools, and I really need to go back to school by spring next year, since my parents will have sold their home by then and I'd need financial aid for living expenses, which I can only get if I am enrolled. I feel the associate dean is being irresponsible and contributing to my demise. She even made sure I wasn't a student so she could call my parents about me without violating my confidentiality. Can I arbitrate with another person, so I don't have just one Associate Dean on top of me? Can I sue her ass for all the trouble she caused, which I might begin to list on a later post?
