Unfortunately, her teacher wasn’t ok with her turning him down, and his advances became more and more inappropriate.
“He’d comment on my appearance and suggest we grab coffee to discuss my career aspirations,” she said.
“I felt trapped because he was still my professor, and I didn’t want to create a scene or make things awkward in class.”
“Feeling stressed, I spoke to a trusted friend about it, and she advised me to report his behavior to the administration. I was hesitant, fearing it would ruin his career or make things uncomfortable for me. But I also knew that what he was doing wasn’t right.”
It was hard for her to do it, but she ultimately reported her teacher. Thankfully, her college believed her and launched an investigation.
Her teacher is suspended temporarily as her college digs into the situation, which makes her feel relieved yet guilty.
“Now, I’m left wondering if I did the right thing. I didn’t want to hurt his career, but I felt I had no choice to protect myself,” she continued.
She’s curious if it was wrong of her to report her teacher for admitting to her that he’s crushing on her.
