Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York
unwarrented expulsion from college
in 1965 I was 19 years old and in my
third year of college. I was experiencing
severe emotional difficulties and fell
behind in class attenance and was
unable to complete assigned projects. I
attempted to obtain a withdrawal status
to keep my grade index for use at
another school in the future. I had a
meeting with my dept. dean who
informed me that not only would he not
give me a withdrawal but that he would
personally recommend that I not be
admitted to any other school
whatsoever. When I asked why he said:
you know why.I said: but I don't. He
said: get out of my office. I still don't
know what I did to deserve such harsh
treatment. I was never given a hearing
or a chance to explaiain or redeem any
conduct. I was de facto expelled with no
reason being given.My chances of
earning a livlihood were destroyed. I
feel mistreated by someones callous
indifference and that twenty years of my
life were destroyed for no good
reason.Do I have any recourse for
emotional and financial damage?

Not to be callous, but why did it take you 41 years to seek redress? I'm sorry but there's little that can be done at this stage of the game.

You have waited 50 years to ask? The statute of limitations has expired. You were an adult. Unless you have been under mental disability since 1965 you have no available recourse.
