Greetings SDN readers,

Some may remember my post from earlier this summer about the inaugural class experiment at FCOM (reposted below). At the time I wasn’t permitted to publicly share certain documents, but since I never signed an NDA, I can provide them if you DM me: cease-and-desist threats, proof of the full-tuition scholarship (covering all four years), recorded hearings, and dismissal letters handed out at 4:30 PM — after being scheduled for a 9:30 AM exam the next day and spending the entire day on campus studying and meeting with faculty about the content. I share this not only to document my own experience, but to make clear what future students are walking into. Written “offers” to repeat the year are a scam.

Wow. I'm really sorry to hear what's been going on. I hope you've been OK, I mean, given the circumstances.

If you're here, it's to bring awareness to the issue, so maybe it would be helpful if you added color around what actually happened?

The timeline you put together here has you starting school in August and by September you are being excluded from an event out of the blue. What does that mean (I'm guessing you asked why you were not invited)? How was the admin behaving toward you that you noticed was different from other students (i.e., what do you think students should look out for)?

It seems like you might've had a health flare by winter time, fell behind, and didn't exactly have a graceful leap back onto the saddle again. In that sense it reminds me of Ife's story at UCSF:



How are your classmates reacting? What are you going to do now?

Looks like you have a massive lawsuit ready to go.
