‘complaint. Be specific in regard to time, location, and indvidvals/eroups involved. (You

‘This complaint/grievance is an appeal ofthe decision made by Shannon McCarron on,
July 10, 2038 regarding my experiences with CBC. She found that | experienced no
coercion or retaliation, NOTHING can be FURTHER from the TRUTH. | realize the futlty
in filing a grievance/complaint where the people mentioned init also do the
investigation. infact, this appeal request will n all likelihood be thrown out before even
being considered due to some baseless reason which CBC will concoct, That is EXACTLY
what an unethical person would do.Being that there are other entities looking atthe school and its behavior, {expected Ms,
‘McCarron to give an honest effort in trying to get to the truth of what has occurred. ft
appears that that has not happened
The bottom line and truth is this: | DID experience coercion—I was asked to do
Something that was unethical and then later, during Ms. McCarron’s investigation, my
application was used as 3 carrot dangled infront of me inorder to get me to cooperate.
WAS retaliated against. As the text exchanges testify to, Ms. McCarron’ investigation
wasn't even concluded when | was notified that because | was speaking up, | would not
be employed by CBC.
| was asked to talk to Ms. McCarron because of my ob application. As the audio
recording shows, when | spoke to Ms. MeCarron, | told her | had received these
messages, but that was not something she was interested in
(On May 27, at University Hospital, it was explained to me in graphic detail how more
{grade changes were made at CBC during the last week of school. This was told to me by
the person who made the changes themselves. | was told there was pressure by Dean
Garcia and Ms. Hernandez in order to make the schoo! look good and not lose money.
"it doesn’t matter what the grades areas long as they pass NCLEX.”
2. Ust any action taken to resolve this confit.
"have been trying to speak up for months now. I've worked with the CBC Board, The
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, various faculty ofthe school.
3, List specific relief or remedy sought to resolve the complaint.
|lam seeking an hones, truthful investigation of what | have experienced. | believe it
should be done by unattached parties or perhaps the Board itself

‘regarding this complaint.
