and so...
what's the way out?
i can't find the information on how much the university gets paid for my thesis.
i think they do get paid something... i think i remember that there was indeed a pretty big incentive for the university to get completed theses from the government. only... that might have been in australia. and that was something to do with why the department there got into trouble. because apparently the PhD scholarships the students were paid and so on was just a tip on the iceberg that was the money that came to the department for the student completed phd submissions... and so by not getting the student submissions the university was getting really f*ck*ng pissy with the department...
so...
there might be something like that at my university if i can get hold of the right people. and if i make it clear that this was why i enrolled... and that i have no intention of giving my thesis to waikato if they do not (somehow or other) get auckland to accept that they are giving them late evidence of completion in order not to penalise the candidate since it wasnt the candidates fault the university processing people ground to a halt.
my thesis is political...
i worry a bit people might feel they have some kind of an interest in it not being hardbound. i guess i could send it to publisher and see about getting it published as a book. i can alter the acknowledgements to say that it was initially written as an Mphil but the university refused to grade it in time.
i can see about legal... but i don't think we have legal in this country. it is possible that they have consulted their lawyers already and... i don't know...
i don't know.
i don't know what to do.
