[Air-l] Ph.D. student is looking for a good home for his Thesis

[Christian Nelson]

Michael:
I'm sorry for your situation, and know how awful it is. My original Ph.D. adviser tried to run me out of the program by trying to persuade the rest of the faculty that they shouldn't serve on my committee. Fortunately, no one believed the charges he leveled against me and I finished my Ph.D. under a different adviser. If you are in a similar fix, can't you sue for libel or slander? I suspect just the threat of that will get your department to bail you out, though I'm glad I didn't have to test that theory myself.
Best wishes,
Christian Nelson
