Final answer:

The teacher has suffered a violation of the right to due process.

Step-by-step explanation:

The right that the teacher has suffered a violation of is the right to due process. Due process refers to the fair treatment of an individual in legal proceedings, which includes providing notice and an opportunity to be heard. In this case, the teacher was not given sufficient notice or time to present their case before the decision was made.
