I’m a bit confused on the timeline.
You said you were recently dismissed after 6 years (recently being now) but later you say, when I came back from my home country after covid (where you took a break), you were dismissed.
Did you come back here, continue to work after covid and were recently dismissed?
Or all the work you are mentioning you did was pre-covid and now you are just coming back and you were dismissed?
The question I would have is (and I suppose you do is) - why weren’t you dismissed, blocked from continuing, after the first semester?
I imagine they have a litany of disclaimers and a handbook that they’ll use against you and I’m sure the advice above is very sound, especially since @Shelby_Balik is a professor but just trying to understand the timeline.
Also, is there any way to transition your educational status (if they offer) to the school you are teaching at now?
Thanks
