I have sat on disciplinary boards and would like to make a few comments. I am an MD in a very high ranking academic institution and know what I'm talking about. I'm not a very good writer, I'm much more clear and coherent speaking. My comments will seem harsh. If we were talking in person, I would seem much more pleasant and I'd be able to get my points across in a more helpful manner.

You are intelligent and hardworking.

An A- is a good grade.

Many of your posts on PC are very argumentative. You do not accept criticism well. You tend to argue that you are right.

Posting recordings of sessions and conversations is very unprofessional in my opinion. I feel very strongly about this. Frankly, I'm shocked at some of your posted recordings.

If, during the the disciplinary board meeting, you become argumentative or aggressive, in any way, things will go very badly for you. Even if you feel you are right and they are wrong.

Your role is to sit there and be calm, interested in what they have to say, and be very accepting and agreeable. Even if it killing you internally.

This is contingent on the assumption that you want to stay in the program. Even if you want to take some time off, if you plan to continue your studies, you will need letters of reference.

You must keep your ***** together.

I know it's hard to hear criticism, or that someone isn't listening to you. I really do.

Many times, you have to just play the game the way they want.

Before the meeting, you may want to write down some positive, agreeable, and accepting responses to things you think they may say. Maybe even practice saying them, in front of a mirror, so you can see your facial and bodily reactions to hearing them criticizing you.

This is important. The odds of winning the "game" are increased if you are prepared.

Good luck to you. Please consider what I've said, and what other posters have said, thoughtfully, before going before the board.
