this university does not care about its students

burner acct to protect my id

im a grad student who is facing harassment from my pi. i've been constantly yelled at, made fun of, etc from my pi. theres so much more but for privacy reasons im not sharing. just know its rly fcked up n toxic

i talked to a few deans and faculty of the uni and i explained all the issues ive been having. they either did nothing or straight up told me they didnt believe me. i was so scared of escalating anything bc i didnt want to face backlash. rutgers did nothing to support me or provide me resources.

my chances of changing advisors is shot bc my pi is well respected. its gonna look like im the issue to everyone else and not them. im scared im going to be stuck in this position with them for the rest of my degree. im so sad. idk what to do other than suffer. it makes me so mad that this school prides itself on being there to stop harassment and discrimination but does sht when it actually occurs. i feel so alone.
