Exploitation of student labor is nothing new, but that fact doesn’t make it any less unethical, or in one Tennessee university student’s case, life-changing in the worst way. It all began when the student’s professor had them enroll in an internship from May to June in 2023. During this internship, they were told to clean areas contaminated with bird and rodent waste. However, suddenly on Christmas, they became extremely sick with histoplasmosis, a fungal infection that did a number on their vital organs.
Contracted life altering disease from internship. Do I have recourse against the school?
