Arizona State fails grad student
Over the past two years my relationship with ASU has been going downhill. I blame my advisor. I should not lambaste anyone or any system here, and I won’t burn bridges, but I didn’t get any support. I won’t say none, Angelika and Karen were vital in my survival at ASU. Rob is another one who pushed me out through unprofessionalism. Eric was good to me.
I received a letter earlier this school year that said due to "inactivity" I said until this May to "progress" or they’d kick me out. I think the following email, which I’ve pasted in it’s entirety below shows what Arizona State University really thinks about their students who spent years trying to get a good degree and paying a crapload of money.
