Have you ever experienced unfair treatment on a college campus? It happens more often than we’d like to admit—whether in the classroom, financial aid office, or even during a routine interaction on campus. At #TecoGuide, we believe students should have the knowledge and confidence to advocate for themselves. If you ever feel belittled, dismissed, or unfairly treated, speak up.

At #TecoGuide, we believe students should have the knowledge and confidence to advocate for themselves. If you ever feel belittled, dismissed, or unfairly treated, speak up. Address the issue directly if you're in a safe environment, document everything, and escalate your concerns through the appropriate channels.

One shocking example: A student came forward after a professor wrote “dumbass” on her test. Unacceptable? Absolutely. But it took her reporting the incident to expose an ongoing issue that eventually led to the professor’s termination.

If something doesn’t feel right—act. Seek support, document your case, and if needed, bring your voice to higher levels, even the Board of Trustees.

Your education matters. Your experience matters. And we’re here to help you navigate the system.
