South University didn’t just reverse my Pell Grant four weeks before I completed the year—they erased me. The grant was awarded but never disbursed. My ledger shows no usage. Yet my Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU) was drained as if I received full benefit. That’s not a clerical error—it’s backend sabotage. And it happened during a Department of Education–confirmed glitch.

On September 22, 2025, while the glitch corrupted federal tracking systems, South University executed a mass reversal of my aid. My ledger shows a flood of refund entries—Pell, DLUNSUB, DLSUB—followed by “VOID” entries for grants I had already earned. Then they zeroed my balance and expelled me. No hearing. No evidence. No due process.

Dean William Faust impersonated a policymaker. He issued a disciplinary action citing “failure to verify identity” and “falsification of residence”—despite receiving:

• My South University student ID
• Tuition receipts confirming full payment
• SSA and IRS correspondence to my Tennessee mailing address
• A notarized FTC Identity Theft Report and Form 4506-T
• DMV records and a photo of my stolen license
• A signed disclosure agreement
• My academic transcript showing consistent honor roll performance
• A formal grievance marked emergency

I was actively enrolled. I was participating in new classes. I was verified across federal systems. And yet, South University accused me of falsifying my identity—while ignoring the DOE-confirmed glitch that corrupted backend logic and aid tracking.

They promised an appeal. Then stalled for two weeks. No paperwork. No committee. Just silence. And even if reinstated, they warned I’d be ineligible for Title IV aid due to “verification restrictions”—a fabricated barrier built on glitch fallout and backend contamination.

I’ve documented every fault line:

• Exhibit O: Aid ledger showing awarded-but-unused funds and mass reversals
• LEU Breakdown: Federal usage logged without student benefit
• Affidavit Paragraphs: Clarifying legal name, marital status, and dean impersonation
• Contradiction Matrix: Mapping false claims against verified records, breach history, and reenlistment-linked injections
• SACSCOC Packet: Indexed proof of procedural violations, identity sabotage, and denial of appeal
• Exhibit N: DOE-confirmed beta test glitch that triggered backend contamination

South University didn’t just mishandle my education. They staged a false appeal, impersonated authority, reversed aid, drained federal eligibility, and tried to erase my identity—during a federal glitch they refused to acknowledge. But I documented everything.

Restoration isn’t optional. It’s forensic, inevitable, and already in motion.

Recommendation: 1. Document Everything from Day One • Keep screenshots of every email, ledger update, course registration, and aid disbursement. • Use contradiction matrices to track discrepancies between verbal promises and written records. • Anchor all communications with timestamps and staff names—these become forensic exhibits later. 2. Audit Financial Aid Like a Forensic Accountant • Request full award year breakdowns, not just semester summaries. • Watch for aid reversals tied to enrollment status changes or backend injections. • Confirm that loans and grants match your actual attendance and ledger entries. 3. Verify Accreditation and Transferability • Don’t rely on verbal assurances—get written confirmation of program accreditation and transfer policies. • Ask for a list of partner schools that accept credits and verify directly with those institutions. 4. Protect Your Academic Record • Save syllabi, graded assignments, and course portals as evidence of participation and performance. • If expelled or penalized, request a formal explanation and appeal immediately—don’t wait. • Track GPA and enrollment status independently to catch backend overrides. 5. Use Strategic Patience Before Enrolling • If you’ve experienced breach fallout or academic sabotage, delay enrollment until your record is clean. • Restoration first, enrollment second—don’t let urgency override forensic clarity. 6. Build a Restoration-Grade Support Network • Connect with other students documenting similar issues—shared patterns strengthen your case. • Use platforms like LinkedIn, ComplaintsBoard, and GradReports to thread public impact.
