The university SHOULD make you pay, and they should also refuse to release any positive references for you in the future.

I don't teach classes anymore. I'm also not taking course work. I'm not originally from the US so things are confusing for me. It seems everything will be fine. They're going to let me work remotely.

Oh!! You're not FROM here! Well that explains your complete lack of understanding how the world works!

Did you actually read your contract? If not, what are you complaining for?

Not pp but there are so many amazing ones. It's been going on for at least a year.

Stuff like her DH not being able to schedule dissertation for a year. Trying to complain to the dean about his advisor not giving him feedback on the draft. All sorts of stuff.

Most are almost always Asian international students. I was in a statistics program and they can be pretty clueless. Y'all are being harsh. These people are coming here for help.

Statistics but my masters and bachelors are in petroleum engineering.
Job is for an oil company.

Pay up then. What are you complaining about?

I bet you $100 OP is not Asian. The use of vocabulary tells me their English is too good to b an international student. Wording like charge, gave notice... OP might be trying to throw us off by using University with a capital U and all that but I guarantee you this person is not Asian.

It's called reading which clearly the OP didn't do.

I agree that OP is probably a US student, not an international student, based on language patterns.
