unlawful detainment?

[Eggysrun]

So my wife had to leave her night class, and her instructor with god knows what wisdom didn't want her to leave so she took a chair and herself to block the door to keep my wife from leaving. This went on for about 15 minutes infront of her class, she asked the instructor more than enough times to get out of her way calmly but wouldn't comply. I couldn't really do much other than tell her to call 911 if she wouldn't move out of the way, I know that's what i would have done instead of getting violent. My wife didn't want to physically move this person because she was worried this crazy lady would escalate things. She eventually did push her aside, and then got chased all the way outside to her car.

I'm going with her tomorrow to the college to file a complaint because this is complete crap, I am just wondering what legal rights she had violated because I know if I were to physically stop my wife from leaving the house when she really wanted to leave it could constitute a domestic charge.

Yeah, that's weird. Did the teacher say why she didn't want you wife to leave? Not that it really matters, just wondering.

She was trying to convince her to stay, trying to make small talk. I can understand trying to calm someone down but if someone is intent on leaving you have no right to keep them there if they ask multiple times. Instructor was even telling her stuff like "well I guess you should quit your job too since you aren't going to finish this class" and bringing up other personal things that she's now worried this teacher is gonna go to our church (where my wife works) and start bad mouthing my wife to her boss. My wife had talked to her earlier before class letting her know she was withdrawing from it, but would stay for the certificate and she told my wife she wouldn't get the cert if she dropped the class so she decided to leave and then this all happened....

I'm pretty ticked off, very unprofessional! It's a good thing I work part time at my college in admissions, I know exactly who I will be bee lining to tomorrow morning.

Wtf? What campus was this on?

Off campus location, FRCC in Fort Collins.

Holy crap...yeah I would start yelling abduction or kidnapping. Its a college course with adults not a daycare facility.

Have her professor come over to the Tin.

He/she can see how it feels to be locked in. I got gates with pad locks. Once in, welcome to my world!

Seriously tho. That shit is messed up!!

My guess is that after you file a formal complaint, and have all those witnesses, the problem is going to cure itself. She aint going to be working there anymore.

What in the hell? I would definitely pursue a complaint on her to the fullest extend, is her professor on pills or something? lol Who in their right mind would stop teaching their class and drag a chair in front of the door. I'm curious as to what the other classmates were thinking....

and this went on for 15 minutes. No one spoke up either which kinda makes me mad, adults too afraid to speak up when they see something wrong
