[nabs-l] Legal Advice

I think you should send the letter to the professor.  He did not comply with 
the written agreement.  Whether to go further depends on other factors. Was 
the professor a problem all along or just for the test?
Did he repeatedly fail to be accomodating?
I don't think your action will affect your interaction with future 
instructors.  Good luck.
