[nabs-l] I believe I have been discriminated against, where to turn for help?

[David Andrews]

I would not rush out and sue somebody.  First, I would think that 
your school has some sort of procedure for filing complaints.  You 
must have a Dean of Students, or Chancellor or provost of academic 
affairs etc.  It is called different things at different 
schools.  Or, there is the Chairperson of the Department in 
question.  Do your homework, so to speak, and proceed from there.
