Finally Meeting w/ the Dept. Chair

Hi guys. So I’m finally meeting with the new chair at 1 today. I’m gathering and screenshotting everything I can to make sure that I have my timeline and facts all neat. If anyone has any advice on what to say or how to phrase things, that would be greatly appreciated.

The student conduct officer also reached out to me this morning and said that he was able to receive a portion of a recording from my professor. For some reason, either she can’t or will not provide everything to him. I asked if she’s provided a reason as to why we can’t view the full recordings and what exam this selected portion is from. I still find all of this really weird. She only discussed exam 4 with me, but reported me for all of them, then only sends a portion of one of the exams?

Anyway, I’ll update after the meeting.

UPDATE: there’s not going to be anymore posts going forward. Someone told the department chair about my posts and they brought it up during the meeting. So yeah that sucks.

Y’ALL I CAN’T

So I’ve reached out to Student Conduct, OMBUDS, Student Success, The Dean of Students, and the frickin Dept. Chair about how to appeal and literally no one has given me anything. Student Conduct and OMBUDS gave me the Dept. Chair’s info, Student Success gave me the Dean of Students info (no reply), and guess what? The Dept. Chair is actually no longer the Dept. Chair and he has copied my email to the Chair who I’ve yet to hear from.

Y’all weren’t kidding when you said the appeals process was cumbersome. What the actual hell.

So update.

I met with the conduct officer and he said he didn’t have the Proctorio recordings either. She apparently reported me for all the midterms not just the last one which she didn’t tell me.

My final was on Monday and my rental laptop died in the middle of the exam and my personal laptop glitched. Immediately emailed Laricheva and she offered for me to take it in person.

Took the exam in person on Tuesday. Discussed it with her. She kept repeating how she’s done this hundreds of times and that she “wasn’t accusing me of cheating but has her suspicions”. I met with the student conduct officer AGAIN and addressed the new updates.

Got the email provided above this morning.

Went through Policy 541 and now I think I have a procedural case against her.

Important notes: she keeps changing the basis of her accusations. Went from eye movement, to weird behavior, getting an answer right without doing the calculations, to mismatched behavior.

SHE WILL NOT PROVIDE THE PROCTORIO RECORDINGS. I still have no access to the basis of the accusations.

Oh and on top of this, my family got in a car accident the Sunday before the final. The car is a total loss and I had to pick them up from the side of the freeway. I was so numb and out of it, I don’t remember anything that happened after I picked them up. All of this has culminated so much distress that I am completely thrown off. I had an emotional breakdown on Monday after the original exam.

I didn’t cheat. I have worked hard throughout all of my schooling and have too much academic integrity to cheat or let this go.

If you are having or have had any similar issues with Dr. Laricheva and false cheating accusations, please please please reach out to me. Any further advice would be appreciated.
