What is going on everyone and welcome back to the channel. I hope you're all doing well.

I mean, you can tell by the title and thumbnail, but this student's college says that if they miss class to testify at their assault trial, their assault trial, right?

They will be dropped from the university.

Let's get into the story.

My college says that if I miss class to testify at my assault trial, they'll drop me from my classes.

I, intersex agenda, was S-Aid while home over a break, not by another university student, and the trial of my attacker starts in two weeks.
