She was 1 day away from recieving her degree. So other than the photo, up till then there is no reason to deny her, I'm guessing. Why shouldn't we here on mudcat give the school a fair chance before condemning them? It seems that it didn't take the school long to condenm her & the school is the one who took action, so if they want to explain themselves, so as to be seen in a better light then they have a responsibality to first put forth any other reasons for their actions other than a photo which so far hasn't been done & now won't be till after the law suite is over, I'm sure, otherwise this needs to be seen as the knee-jerk reaction that it is. My she recieve her degrees & more money than asked for & may those involved in preventing this lose their jobs so that this idiot reactionary behavior ends.

As to teachers treating children in the manner above, teachers I believe nation wide are now mandated reporters & they are because of the many who've turned a blind eye to abuse for one reason or another. To not report this behavior is not only morally unexceptable but it's now also illegal.

The children need to be protected from the schools that don't have policites against (which federally they are all supposed to have & follow). These types of actions taken by universities & colleges, places of higher education need to practice what they teach, "learn with an open mind", & if they run afoul, whatever the reason need to held accountable & redirected.
