was my when I was at Community College sometime before 2018. I am not comfortable saying details of what happened exactly on here, but to summarize has sexually harassed me.

• Unwanted touching/physical contact 
• Speaking about sexual relations/stories/fantasies 
• Sexually suggestive gestures, staring, teasing
• Sexual comments of body
• Denied what had done was inappropriate 

Eventually, I found out other students went through the same. When I later reported it was not taken seriously. 

After what I personally went through, a classmate/neighbor who was just 12 years old at the time went to the same college (she’s very smart) and was her private outside of the college itself. I don’t have her permission to tell her side, especially since she was a minor then. Also, I haven't had her contact since before she moved away and after because why would I have a 12 year old’s number (I was in my twenties)? I told her to watch out for and asked her how had been with her. Soon after she told me what had done to her and I immediately got angry then had to inform her mother. Her mother told me that she felt off about (money related issue) and had stop being her private. She told the college, but still, they haven’t done much to protect their students. No parent should feel stuck in a situation when security and staff didn’t take them seriously either.    

Her mother found this on from one of essays and told me about it. In the archive of writings, mentioned alarming things. One of his essays mentioned: “” 

On one of his Facebook profiles the is shown, which stated that “” I am not familiar with this place, but based on what has said about God being ” and the mention of “demon magic” in other writings is strange, especially when they have a children’s religious education program. 

I graduated from Truman in 2018, which was when was the  and at, but soon after in 2019 he somehow became the and is also now an instructor in. Although this was about 4-5 years ago, I was dealing with PTSD, which I have already been diagnosed with due to my past traumas. The main reason for doing this now is having the strength to protect students. The college ignores students and their parents' concerns, while also not fully protecting the place for students, staff, and others.

Many of the low reviews on states that doesn't teach math and goes completely off-topic, which is true. I remember in math class was talking non-stop about topics not related to the subject, mostly personal life, such as divorce and kids. mentioned that  (a man doing a “woman’s job”) changed his daughter's diapers, why does have to mention that in math class? said a lot of sexist comments, claiming it's opinion. gave all students personal phone number on the syllabus which I thought from day one was weird that was the only one who did that. kept saying to call  if we ever need anything to try to show that is helpful, but it is strange. The girl’s mother would say that “strangely too friendly.” I didn’t want to take that class again, so I reported after to avoid making it worse and failing the class. While I’m glad I had people on my side, was still seen as this highly great professor, he manipulated a lot of people.

After attending class, I ended up not attending the when I found out was the faculty member part of it. I left out a lot of details, but to have as a faculty representative of the, which “,” is concerning. How can students contact SIT when a safety risk to them. 

According to the, it stated that “A student has 180 DAYS from the date of the incident to file their complaint, even if the academic term is over.” This is 6 months, which I and many others believe is not enough time and that there shouldn’t be a time limit to this. 

According to the Illinois Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Helpline, they said that “A discrimination charge can be initiated…within 300 days of the date the alleged discrimination took place (180 days for harms occurring before June 8, 2018).” Victims before June 8, 2018, not having this extended time is not fair at all. Extended time to bring a complaint and/or to investigate is critical, even though there shouldn’t be a time limit to this.  Also, not believing victims due to the lack of evidence puts victims and others at risk of danger, especially in a school setting. 

stated that their core values “define us through...responsibility and accountability, respect and fairness.” If they truly mean this statement, they should be responsible and fair by believing and protecting their students by firstly not allowing to continue working for them. Also, to improve security to provide a safer educational environment. Campus safety is very important for everyone, of course. When the concerns of students are not taken seriously, justice needs to be served.
