Can you sue a university for retaliatory conduct (grading)?

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

You can't take her to court just because of the low grade. But what she did was egregiously unprofessional. Universities often have a code of conduct that applies to everyone, not just students. I'll bet she's violated that code somehow. Look on your school's website for the code of conduct. All schools have them in one form or another.



I would file a grievance with the appropriate dean. Professors have a lot of latitude in grading, but that is a COMPLETE abuse of authority, if she did it solely to punish you.



She shouldn't be teaching.
I don't think you can sue them, but you can ask a person that is over that teacher to review your grades if you think they are unfair..
