You do make a valid point, however making such a lawsuit over this shows that she is an entitlement queen, if she was not she would have called for an invesgation into the teacher before starting up with a lawsuit, meaning that if the system was unwilling to investgate the teacher in question then it would be a valid move to call for a law suit instead of going for a law suit right off the hop.  I find that universities don't have much oversight on their professors. Even complaints are handled as if you're just making a hissy fit over nothing.     For example, just the other day I went to a new dentist because they had some decent prices. I pay a decent fee upfront just to see the dentist. Needed a cavity filled. Instead, after exhaustively waiting, I go in and they tell me no we only do extractions, not fillings. I don't know if the guy was just trying to get to lunch early or what. The site for the dentist explicitly said they provided fillings, and when I initially called to make an appointment I asked about it as well and the costs. Needless to say, I called into their superiors and complained, but they were seemingly trying to actively make every excuse for their employee. was there swelling?' no. maybe you heard them wrong? no, they made it explicitly clear. that's weird, he's not new, this went on and on for quite some time.     once I was getting tickets on my vehicle because I was off work and it snowed over 4 feet, so I didn't want to go anywhere. Anyways, I kept getting not moved for 48 hours tickets, in front of my own home no less. The first ticket was I admit legit. but after I got the first one, I kept alternating where I parked and I was STILL getting tickets. I even got a sticker slapped on it saying they would tow it if it isn't moved in soo long. Here's the kicker, I got the tickets day after day, and the irony was each ticket had a different street address because I changed where I parked daily. Of course I called in to complain to their commanding officer, and he did drop the tickets (if only to not make his officers look like complete idiots)....BUT......guess what his excuse was? If I hadn't of removed that sticker, I wouldn't have gotten more tickets! (even though I had even before I removed it!) despite me having moved the vehicle to a different parking spot daily. the officers didn't even know if my vehicle had been in the same spot for 48 hours, yet were still writing tickets. BUT it's MY fault.      see what I'm getting at? notice a pattern? anytime I complained about an injustice, the one I was complaining to didn't really want to deal with the issue. Their job is to bury the issue unless the issue is serious enough, and even then some still try to bury it.    Think of it this way, if an employer is ok with burying murder and rape, which has happened at some point in many places, how much do you think they're going to want to deal with lesser complaints? not much at all.     insurance companies aren't meant to give you insurance, they're meant to pocket the money and deny insurance claims, all while offering some service to keep up appearances, but they still take their cut. it's not as contrived as that exactly, but it's pretty darn close. the point being business's will actively do whatever they can to protect it and complaints are treated with skepticism, to the point where even when they have all the facts sitting in front of them, they will still actively work against the complainer and twist things so there appears to be no wrong doing.    victima fit victima bis quaerens iudicium  the victim becomes the victim twice when seeking justice    or a shorter version..    victima fit victima bis.  the victim becomes the victim twice    a phrase of my own creation, and one that should be up there and widespread with the popular quotes of wisdom.
