Sue academic advisor?

Hi. I've been having a problem at school since my freshman year in college. There's a mother who is living in the dorm with her daughter. Since day one, I've been getting threats from this woman...she's tried to get me fired from various jobs...she's taken various pseudonyms and has encouraged people to beat me up...someone even broke into my dormroom and trashed the place...she's sent various emails to my fellow classmates tarnishing my character. I tried to get in contact with the university's attorney...no response. I had a meeting with all the undergraduate deans about the matter...nothing. I've suffered mentally, physically, and academically since I arrived at my college. I am suffering from a post traumatic stress disorder plus I have been recently diagnosed with Graves Disease due to all the stress. Plus, and most painful of all, I've been academically punished by my advisor because I withdrew unofficially from 3 of my classes--classes that this mother and daughter BOTH attended--and my advisor, who is aware of the situation, encouraged me to take. Is there anything I can do? I don't have any money...I can't even take summer classes because I'm from a low income family. Help, please.

Sounds like you may want to start a lawsuit against this mother daughter terror tandrum. Many attorney's will do the work on a contingency basis. YOu can call the local law school's clinic, if you have any questions on how to fill out the forms.

Good Luck.
