So I called the OTI this afternoon. Some idiot at OTI told my school that I called (with my name and phone, no less) and now im about to be expelled. ***, CollegeBoard!?

This really HAS to be illegal on some level.

Whistleblower protection? What happened to that??

I wouldn't worry too much just yet. As long as you have a perfectly valid claim against the school, then your expulsion will be violating some law.

What did you tell the OTI?

Assuming you go to a public school, then they CANNOT expel you unless they have good reason.

Furthermore, since you called on your own time and your claim was not slanderous, I'd bet its "protected speech" to report anything. It could even be seen as mandatory since you sign your name to the test being fairly administered.

I go to private school - what happened was that people opened their Section 2 packets early.

What is OTI?

Office of Testing Integrity

I'm out on the grounds that I didn't discuss it with a teacher - HE WOULDN'T LISTEN

Hmm. I would threaten to take them to court. You would definitely win the case, it would just be a pain. Hopefully they come to their senses. What did OTI say??

"Contacting the Office of Testing Integrity

If you observe any behavior that might lead to invalidation of scores (e.g., copying, using notes from an unauthorized source, or accessing exam questions prior to the exam), contact the Office of Testing Integrity as soon as possible. All information will be kept strictly confidential. "

Apparently not....
