Hi, I’ve been wanting to change my advisor and the dean initially told me it shouldn’t be a problem back in January and then in February her secretary tells me that the dean doesn’t want to change my advisor at this time. When I ask why, the secretary and the dean both ignore my emails. The student handbook says that students can change their advisors for any reason and in the past I had no issue changing advisors but we now have a new dean.
What should I do at this point if I don’t feel comfortable with my current advisor and the dean is uncooperative?
