People can say and/or think that the reasons that I declined my acceptance to the Ed.M.- Adult and Continuing Education program at Rutgers University New Brunswick were because I quit, and was afraid that I could not tackle it. They can also attack me with weak innuendos directly or indirectly. I am here to set the record straight by first saying that the aforementioned are outright lies.

In Spring 2016, I was accepted to a graduate program offered by Rutgers GSE. According to the graduate admissions application, I was supposed to be assigned an office of disability services coordinator a few weeks after application submission. But I was never assigned one. When I contacted the Office of Disability Services, I found out that I was not eligible for disability services. I was only made aware of this once I contacted them. They claimed that I was not disability services eligible, because past and current documentation was deemed invalid, insufficient, and did not exactly adhere to all of the general and documentation guidelines for a learning disability that are stated on their website. Also, I was never assigned nor contacted by an office of disability services coordinator a few weeks after graduate admissions application submission. In addition, they wanted me to prove again that I am disabled by going through the freshman process for disability services registration. This did not make any sense because a lot of documentation was given to them while I was a student, including a recent government document that was definitive proof of my disability. Further, in an e-mail that I received from Mrs. Lori Megaro, a Masters in Social Work candidate working for the Office of Disability Services, it said that I was required to fill out a registration form. However, the Office of Disability Services website states that the registration form is for students who have not previously been registered with the Office of Disability Services. I was already registered with the Office of Disability Services. In fact, I registered with them in my first semester at Rutgers, which was in Fall 2008. Instead of trying to gather new documentation in such a short period of time, which would have included at least 12 diagnostic test scores, I was forced to decline my admissions acceptance into the graduate program, and give up my spot to an undeserving rejected applicant who graduated with MY degree in May 2018.

I will not back down from anyone who spreads conjectures in order to tarnish me. Things that I stated about what the Office of Disability Services did to me are true. The truth hurt, because they cannot be disputed. As a matter of fact, I still continue to spread the word on this injustice. On April 6, 2017 (exactly 1 year from when I received my graduate school acceptance letter), I found out that Rutgers ODS (Carlie Andrews and Bill Welsh), GSE (Alisa Belzer), and Robert Barchi reported me to Julianne Apostolopoulos, 1 of their several lawyers for Rutgers University New Brunswick, who then made defamatory and derogatory statements, and threatened to pursue legal action against me. The DOJ and US Dept of Ed: OCR turned a blind eye to all of the things that I mentioned, and labeled me as the perpetrator. They cleared Rutgers of any wrongdoing, despite violating the ADA law, and infringing upon my 1st Amendment rights.

To all prospective disabled applicants: DO NOT APPLY FOR ADMISSIONS TO RUTGERS UNIVERSITY NEW BRUNSWICK. The university president Robert Barchi, Carlie Andrews and Bill Welsh of ODS, Julianne Apostolopoulos, and Alisa Belzer of Rutgers GSE are mean, cruel, and do not care that they will ruin your future. Their ombudsperson, Sybil James, threatened me with blackmail. Filing a complaint through the US Dept of Ed: OCR is pointless, because lawyers Sandeep Randhawa (a lawyer who has a strong bias for Rutgers), Felice Bowen, and Jane Momo will be assigned to your case, and they will automatically side with Rutgers University, despite the strong evidence that you present to them.
