University Manager Asks Proof for Unavailability

Hi all, I'm currently a full-time college student and working at a part-time IT job at my university in PA. Since the new semester just started, my schedule has been packed with engineering classes and assignments. My manager demanded I let him know my availability of 20 hours which I provided, but he said that in addition, the times when I don't have a conflict with a class or club have to be marked as no preference (meaning that I could work those hours).

Hi all,

I'm currently a full-time college student and working at a part-time IT job at my university in PA. Since the new semester just started, my schedule has been packed with engineering classes and assignments.

My manager demanded I let him know my availability of 20 hours which I provided, but he said that in addition, the times when I don't have a conflict with a class or club have to be marked as no preference (meaning that I could work those hours). The manager asked me about every single hour that I am free from 8 AM to 10 PM, Monday to Sunday, and why I am unavailable at certain hours.

Personal reasons and work-life balance are not excused, but only classes and club activities are (proof required). I need to have time to do my homework and assignments since they take a while, but also have some free time when I'm not studying/working.

Am I obligated to share this information? Is it allowed to be forced to let him know what I do each hour and why I am unavailable during those hours?
