CT CHRO Addendums: January 12, 2026 through January 31, 2026

All addendums to my CT CHRO Complaint against ECSU, CCSU, and CSCU from January 12, 2026, through January 31, 2026, appear below.
Again, this is what violations of 34 C.F.R. §106.71 lead to.

I share these addendums for transparency and for the protection of current and future survivors. ❤‍🩹
I reiterate that what follows is not for the faint of heart. 💔

January 12, 2026 at 6:47 AM: Contacting Covenant Soup Kitchen in Willimantic, CT

Due to retaliation by ECSU and CSCU, I have been without food since November 2025, when my financial aid refunds ran out.
I was hospitalized from December 23, 2025 through January 5, 2026, after attempting suicide and putting CSCU on notice, only for them not to facilitate (set up) a welfare check.

Since my firing on September 18 2025, I have lost over 30 pounds due to malnourishment (in my case, not eating enough food). Again, this is a real-world consequence of the “starve them out” playbook tactic.

I am currently stuck at the TA in Willington, CT, since my car insurance lapsed due to lack of funds. My car is also up for repossession and if it does get repossessed, then I will have difficulty getting around if and when I am able to obtain another job.

Resultantly, on January 12, 2026, at 6:47 AM, I reached out to Kimberly Clark, Executive Director of the Covenant Soup Kitchen in Willington, CT, to explain my dire need for food. This email appears below.

January 12, 2026: Contacting Project HOPE in Willimantic, CT

Shortly after emailing Kimberly, I also emailed Project HOPE in Willimantic, CT at 7:29 AM, to request assistance with shelter, money in general, and access to laundry services. The email I sent to them appears below.

At 1:34 PM, George Mele, Project HOPE’s Outreach Worker, replied to my above email. His response was canned, or following a script, so as to be cold and dismissive. His advice to me after I told him that I was stranded and recently left the hospital after suffering from acute kidney injury? “Stay…in tent in our local woods.”

His response totally disregarded that I have no way to make it to the soup kitchen or Project HOPE and gave me advice that could make me even more sick than I already am. It is sad that Connecticut does not have accommodations for those with PTSD – a systemic failure that must be rectified, or fixed!

At 2:54 PM, I replied to George and copied the CHRO Norwich Office. In my reply, I informed George that his response was retraumatizing for me while also appreciating that Project HOPE allows unsheltered individuals to shower daily and do laundry for free on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

In my call to action to CHRO to add my response as an addendum to my Complaint, I indicated that Connecticut is either unwilling or unable to provide trauma-informed resources to those with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and that I would like my settlement to include funding for trauma-informed resources in Connecticut if CHRO rules allow for it. I also said that if CHRO rules did not allow for it, I would be willing to help fund this directly using my settlement proceeds.

January 12, 2026 – January 13, 2026: Hearing Back From CT CHRO & My Response

Despite me contacting the CT CHRO Norwich Office on January 5, 2026, at 12:47 PM, to confirm whether my Complaint was received, I received no response until January 12, a week later, and under two hours after I responded to Project HOPE.

On January 12, 2026, at 1:39 PM, I called the CT CHRO Norwich Office to confirm whether my Complaint was received. In this voicemail, I mentioned that Cheryl Sharp, Executive Deputy Director of CT CHRO, was copied in my Complaint submission email on December 20, 2025.

I suspect that the extreme liability I presented in my email response to Project HOPE, plus me mentioning Ms. Sharp in the voicemail, compelled CT CHRO to expedite, or speed up, my case. In stark, or very large, contrast to CSCU and ECSU, no CT CHRO employee wants a Complainant or Respondent to get gravely ill, or worse, die, if they can help it!

At 4:39 PM, Investigator Gemeasky responded, informing me that Connecticut State Colleges & Universities (CSCU) had not been served as of that time “due to staff shortages.”

On January 13, 2026, at 4:35 AM, I replied to Investigator Gemeasky to inform him that I acknowledged receipt of his correspondence and I am working on obtaining a mailing address – in the meantime, I requested CT CHRO correspond, or make contact, with me via email due to my cellphone service facing imminent disconnection due to lack of funds (due to being “starved out”). I also asked him to inform me when CSCU is served.
