Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3174693, member: 730"] That "we were honest" comment sounds just like what a lawyer would suggest they say. But then I'm a cynical New Englander. Maybe honesty is still a cherished virtue in the mid-west but there is a huge gray area in all laws and regulations and that's where lawyers make their money. Odd that most all laws and regulations are also written by lawyers too. :confused: Nice way to insure job security. I've worked in regulatory agencies and bringing in a lawyer can sometimes be a bad idea. Administrators sometimes become very closed mouth and careful when dealing with them and sometimes they give in if they don't want the fight. Most of the time where I worked waivers of various rules and regulations were routinely denied and only at the appeal level are they granted. You never know. I suspect that it's the school losing the transfer that makes or breaks the waiver in these cases. They can spin a story any way they want. And only under appeal will the student discover that they are blocking and have a chance to respond to what they say. And sometimes admins let their personal prejudices cloud their judgement. [/QUOTE]
