If you question how a teacher came to a certain grade on a few assignments because the points that were marked off can determine an %26quot;A%26quot; from a %26quot;B%26quot;, and after you ask them for a breakdown of how she came to that point total she comes back and changes your original grade to something lower purposely and then says she won't discuss the matter further. Keep in mind that when questioning her it was done so in a respectful matter and in no way was it threatening or hostile. Can you sue for this? I am paying out of state tuition and this lower grade is bringing my gpa down to the point where I can't apply to grad school next semester
Can you sue a university for retaliatory conduct (grading)?
You can't sue, at least yet...
Go to the department head and discuss it...
Go to your counselor
Go to the dean (if you can even meet him/her)
(preferably get a woman - they're more sympathetic)
If all of this doesn't work, you really need to get some hard evidence before you can sue your teacher for libel (basically something that ruins your reputation - like slander, but in written form, ie your grade).
Can you sue a university for retaliatory conduct (grading)?
Take the paper with the changed grades to the dept head. But if a single grade determines grad school eligibility for you, you're a long shot to get in anyway.
