Internship @ Beatitude House January 26th

I felt it necessary to discuss this contract issue with my field educator during my supervision time today due to a conversation with a fellow student who related some concerning information to me. I was told that another fellow student had a visit from their field coordinator because they had heard this student was having troubles at home and were visiting out of concern. This student was not having troubles at home but believed that their were rumors being circulated around YSU's Social Work department about them to make them look bad due to their interactions with a certain faculty member. Because of this I wanted to related what was going on with me and my possible fight against YSU to my field educator before she may hear any incorrect information elsewhere.

My field educator is also a very intelligent individual, who holds a degree from YSU and has years of experience in the field. I wanted her advice. I let her read the contract. She also believes I am being unfairly treated. She suggested that I look into contacting the student ombudsmen - I have found the phone number on the YSU website and will call for an appointment tomorrow. I have passed this advice onto other students in the hopes that they too call for an appointment with the ombudsmen.
