Help Shay-Akil finish his PhD Program!!!
Donation protected
My name is Shay-Akil and I'm a Ph.D. Candidate in evolutionary biology. I'm 1 chapter & a defense away from being done with my program & having my Ph.D. I recently lost my Ph.D. funding because I was repeatedly & unfairly reported by the professor I had to TA for (who is known in the department for not liking Black people).
I've been having problems with this professor all semester. She has repeatedly reported me, even for things that other TAs have also done but she never reported them. Note, I was the only Black man TA in my program and department. After grading student assignments all weekend, this professor had another TA re-do my grading and the same TA was emailing me telling me that it is unfair to tell students that gender and biological sex are not the same in a 100 level biology course. The next thing I know I'm getting an email saying I've been terminated.
I'm raising money to pay for my tuition, fees, & living expenses for the Spring 2020 semester so that I can complete my program and get my Ph.D. Please share &/or donate whatever you can.
