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

[Cindy Ray]

You said you didn't want to use her help because it might bring undue pressure to bear on her. I was just saying that you really don't have to worry much about that if she is tenured. I would use absolutely everyone I needed to use, but honestly, I wouldn't be willing to continue in a school that gives me that much grief over the dog issue. Of course, that has its down side, too. I don't know. In the end, you will have to do the things that are best for you and it isn't might right to make that sort of judgments. I was only stating that I think if she offers to help you with a meeting, then you should do that, or at least I would strongly consider it.

I am trying to be a nice guy, because I will have to work with all the people in question for the next 4 years. I am only a freshman after all. I can't afford to make enemies, or even worse bring scrutiny or pressure down upon people in the department who are willing to help.

Forcing the point, and having a face to face meeting will only serve to make the dean angrier. If I do have a face to face meeting, I will most certainly have someone with me as an advocate. Probably this professor who is willing to go to bat for me. But for now, I am pursuing other avenues.
