'''Finding.''' During the June 4, 2026 meeting, the reporting student stated that, with clinicals starting the next day, less than 24 hours away, he still did not know where to report. Dr. Danielle Laban messaged Dr. Rachel Powell during the meeting and relayed that the reporting student had the location but not the meeting point, and that Powell would direct the faculty member, Troy, to message the reporting student the meeting point that day. The reporting student had emailed Dr. Rachel Powell the night before asking for the location and confirmation of times and had not received it. This documents that the specific reporting location and meeting point were not confirmed to the student until the institution scrambled to provide it during a meeting held the day before the clinical start.

'''Evidence.''' Recorded meeting (audio and transcript), June 4, 2026: the reporting student stated he still did not have a location, did not even know where he was going the next day, and that was less than 24 hours away; he stated he had emailed Rachel Powell asking her to please get back to him with the location and confirm the times. Dr. Danielle Laban stated she was messaging Rachel on the side, that Rachel said the reporting student has the location, just not the meeting point, and that she was going to ask Troy, the faculty member, to message him about that, since the meeting point is the piece that needs to be communicated, and she was directing Troy to make sure he sends that today. Student: The reporting student. Source: June 4, 2026 recorded meeting (audio and transcript). Source Group: Recorded meeting (audio plus transcript), June 4, 2026: the reporting student with Dr. Danielle Laban (AVP, identified as Speaker 3) and the ADA/Title IX coordinator referred to as Emily/Emilie (Speaker 4); provided by the reporting student.

'''Reported statement.'''
<blockquote>I still do not have a location. I do not even know where I am going tomorrow at this point, and that is less than 24 hours away. I emailed Rachel Powell and said, can you please get back to me with the location and confirm these times.</blockquote>

'''Standards.''' ACEN Standard 5 requires that students be informed of clinical placement details, including reporting location, in advance of the start. 34 CFR 668.14 (administrative capability) requires institutions to coordinate placements so students have the information they need to attend. Not providing a confirmed meeting point until the day before the clinical start reflects a placement-readiness and communication failure consistent with the broader pattern ({{HU|HU-128}}, {{HU|HU-136}}, {{HU|HU-137}}). Cross-reference {{HU|HU-135}}, {{HU|HU-148}}.

'''Impact.''' The reporting student could not plan travel or confirm logistics for a clinical starting in under 24 hours because he did not have a confirmed meeting point. This is the same placement-readiness failure documented for other students and adds to the stress and uncertainty around his clinical start.
