Steve asked me to write the letter to dean and I did and got some tips and such and it looks pretty good. It's an effort to get the dean to see that Steve was honestly trying to do what he should, but got bad advice and can he just do what he thought he was gonna do and if not can he take 2 hours of thesis research instead of a class?
We've tried to make Steve look cooperative (which he is) but not at fault (which he isn't).
Prayers for the graduation situation.
