A Kennesaw State University student that was seeking advice from his academic advisor instead ended up being accused of harassment by the school’s director of advising.
The 30-second video, uploaded by student Kevin Bruce, shows him visiting the school’s student advising office and being told by school director of advising Abby Dawson that waiting for an advisor without an appointment is harassment. Dawson eventually called security on Bruce when he said he wasn’t harassing anyone and refused to leave.
Since Bruce’s video started going viral and turned #ItsBiggerThanKSU into a trending topic, other students have come forward with similar stories about their advisor’s failure to actually advise them. Bruce, who is black, tweeted that he doesn’t feel this is a racial issue, but one that needs to be addressed across the board.
