Other than APAGS and investigating school resources, are there other resources for graduate student rights? Thanks!

First step is university policies. This is probably the biggest determinant. If your school has a graduate union, I'd start there. APAGS in and of itself has no real power in regulation and enforcement of issues within a program. They may be a go-between with APA if it's an issue that would impact accreditation. Would also depend if this is an issue that is specific to training in clinical psych, or something more general to the university itself.

+1. Local politics are always the most critical. University and state politics are going to be the biggest barrier to any substantive change.

Yeah, if it's an institutional issue in a broader sense, gonna be a tough road to hoe. If it's a clinical psych program issue, first it depends on what the program manual and policies say. If you think there was a violation of that, it's going to depend on what kind of documentation exists. Start pulling e-mails and other hard info.
Hard to say what to do without knowing at what level the problem exists in the first place. APAGS isn't it though, they are not a regulatory body. They just pretty much rehash some ethical guidelines from APA. But they still aren't the ones who will do any regulation or enforcement. They're pretty much just the advocacy and grad membership arm of APA.
