I feel I got fired from my job without just cause. I was performing my duties and had great evaluations. 2 instructors at my job started rumors about me and a student. They have no proof of this allegation...

Hello g:

In the US, if you're not a member of a protected class of workers, and you're not a member of a union, or you don't have an employment contract, you are considered an "at will" employee. That's a legal term meaning that you can be fired for ANY reason whatsoever, or no reason at all.

Now, if people are lying about you, and you suffer damages because of it, (like losing your job), you can sue them.
