The time to report a professor is after you've graduated and got a job. You do it before then and within six months you'll be gone and they will still be teaching. Seen it far too many times. It is way easier to get rid of a student than a professor, so guess how schools like to solve their problems? See your doctor and get medicated to deal with your anxiety and just deal with it. It isn't the way of the moral high ground, but it is the way you survive without getting removed from the school as a troublemaker.

maybe if they're tenured, but if not then reporting professors definitely works if you get enough people to complain about them even if it's just on professor evaluations at the end of a semester. I know a lot of people in academia and whether or not they get asked to continue lecturing at a university is majorly influenced by evaluations, so if a bunch of students absolutely hate them and have genuine complaints, then there's a pretty good chance that they'll be out of a job.

If they're tenured, then short of actually assaulting a student they're not going anywhere. If they're junior faculty, the kind of complaints being outlined here are possibly enough to get them shuffled around the department, assuming that someone doesn't like them, and might keep them away from tenure long enough that they get let go in a few years for underperforming. Adjuncts probably won't be asked back, unless the course is something highly specialized. Creative writing instructors are a dime a dozen. Pediatric phlebotomy instructors are a little harder to find and will be given a lot more leeway.

I'm sorry, but the minor slights being described in OP's post just aren't enough for major action to be taken. The only thing that might do it is if the professor forces them to move even though changing seats will trigger a panic attack, but that only works if they've told the professor that and it happens anyway. Based on the original post, it doesn't sound like they've shared that tidbit. The school probably has an office of disability services -- OP should involve them if the prof doesn't seem inclined to listen to reason. And if this is an elective course, OP needs to drop it and take something taught by a more nurturing professor.

LOL, I am "medicated." Thanks. And I'm a 4.0 student. I'm not going to get kicked out for voicing an opinion.

Heard that one before too.

na

wtf kind of school did you go to? I've seen plenty of terrible professors get told to hit the bricks, especially if they're adjunct. hell, those poor bastards don't even have to be terrible to get canned; adjuncts get treated like shit regardless.

When did you go to school, in the 80s? Or do you go to some super strict private university? Cause trust me, most public universities wouldn't do that just for fear of the lawsuit.
