There has been a significant wrong judgement personally to me from the schools in the title which has been wronging my business and disturbing it in obvious ways. In 2015, I enrolled in Hult International Business School EMBA course Shanghai School where only Chinese female students and Europe students had the pipe to the professors and school management. The school students had a negative prejudice about Japanese people, and instantly I was perceived as someone who could be abused and used in any ways Chinese and European students want to me to be. It was approved and encouraged by the Dean and the professors, too. I had a medical leave starting that October but was void. I lost my seat at the EMBA and had to reapply to MBA. In 2016 I joined their Boston MBA. I was known by Harvard Business School Alumni and had experienced abusement at work back in Japan in 2013 although it might not be related. In Boston, I was again isolated by the school students and obviously looked down on by the management for no reasons. I was too qualified and knew too much compared to the regular young MBA students who, however, strongly believed that I didn't run my business that I did and that I lied on my resume, and kept abusing me verbally and by attitude. I was avoided, had a hard time getting in the team work, and my active and out-going personality was not welcomed. In a way, I had to stay quiet as a Japanese woman that they dislike somehow and had to be suspected for what I do for no reason. I seemed to have been used for covering their favorite unqualified undergrad student who wants the degree. The school agitates the students to disturb me, criticise me, demand what they want from me with their strong belief that they are superior to me in their career and their international lives which are not the case in the reality. The school then asked me to sign the withdrawal letter saying that nobody in the school community wants me to be in the community. I lose my candidacy, academic life, so much time, money, US visa, and the school still tries to deceive me that they do their best to support me and they really don't. I lost the opportunity to enjoy my life and my colleagues lost the opportunities to make friends with me, too, which could be far more beneficial if the school does not blindly believe in what Chinese students say about me.

I, the undersigned, call on the DOE of the State of Massachusettes to force the designated schools to stop their personal attacks and to resolve the issue taking opinion from every student who was involved in the school in 2016-2017.
