The new dean is stepping into a brand new job with 10,000 responsibilities.

Give him a chance to get his bearings, OK?

Also for what it’s worth, I’m not seeing “arrogant and rude” from him for not forgetting every other priority in order to answer the email you sent on TUESDAY.

I’m not seeing the urgency. You’ve had 3 years to deal with this issue. You’re “close to graduating”-- does that mean December? Either way, it’s not August.

There’s a poster I sometimes hang in my classroom: “Lack of preparation on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.”

Also, it’s entirely possible that when he CAN get around to your issue, he’ll have to do some research on whether it’s possible or advisable or within school policy. Don’t expect an immediate answer.
