Two years ago, while I was doing my masters, my professor slapped me across the face, because she said I "scared her", when I made a loud noise (there were three witnesses). I didn't turn her in because she was in chair on my thesis committee. She ended up making my second year of my masters program hell for me, trying to sabatoge my thesis "the chair of my department had to talk to her about her conduct". I was then afraid to talk about the incident because she was my reference for jobs in my field. After getting my job, I was afraid to ask for a reference because of the fact that she would write a horrible letter of reccomendation for my PhD program. However, now that I have been accepted into a good PhD program, I feel safe enough to lodge a complaint. Am I going about this too late? I hold no malice toward her, I just think she should be reprimanded what she has done (her wrath has been against other students besides myself). Please let me know what you think.
