So, I’ve had some bad news. Longtime readers will recall my ongoing problems with disability accommodations and my school. And that eventually two formal complaints were filed on my behalf, one 19 months ago, one almost 23 months ago.

The decisions came down yesterday. No wrongdoing in either case. Wrongdoing means violation of university policy. Not entirely sure how repeated failures to provide an accommodation and violating confidentiality about disability status don’t violate two university policies I know by heart, and the letter never really explains that, but university bureaucrats operate in a different reality.

It was the verdict I expected, though I did not expect it to be quite so stupidly expressed. Essentially, they have given permission to not give me accommodations by having no accountability if they don’t.

What next? My mental health is on the line with this constant ****. So I have set myself a deadline for leaving (next calendar year, as there are things I want to finish up here). If I have a job elsewhere by then, great. If not, I will make do with adjunct work and speaker fees until I get a job, and meanwhile try to transition into a full time writer. Mostly I need a little income to cover health insurance fees. Otherwise I’m in decent enough financial shape, just have to be careful.
