[nagdu] Story that I don't know what to think ab out

Wed Mar 28 21:47:39 UTC 2012

Rebecca,

I am studying electrical engineering. I don't think they are trying to get 
me to leave, but it is certainly an expensive course of study to 
accommodate. The department head of the engineering department offered to go 
to bat for me and go with me to talk to the administration, but I don't want 
to get her involved in this messy situation and possibly compromise her job. 
The school is doing a massive reconfiguration, and laying off lots of 
employees. I'd hate for anything to happen to her.

She is thrilled for me to be studying in her department, and she is a one 
woman force of nature for accessibility. I am very lucky to have her on my 
side.

Mark
