I am in my first year of my PhD, I have secured fund for my PhD for experimental work and simulation. and the fund I secured was 42900 pound from my own government. as I understand this fund should be use for my project and spend on me to do the relevant training. at the beginning I start learning programming by myself and i have no help and i did struggle so much and my supervisor did not care so much at all. he did not even allow me to use my fund to go for course that can help me. Recently I discovered that my supervisor is using my fund for other students from the same his nationality and supporting them from my fund. when I confronted him about the use of my research fund he stated that I have the right to use your fund and I can, because I am your supervisor and I know how the fund should be spent.
Is that true that your PhD supervisor have the right to use your research fund even though I am the one got this fund from my government and he did not helped me at all? if not, what are the legal action I can take against him ?
