Might be a long shot,
My academic advisor has given me terrible advice about how to get through my undergraduate program. She specifically told me that I needed to take certain classes and not others, then flipped and said I did the wrong thing and need to take about ten different classes. Other advisors have taken her side. I have some, but not extensive, email evidence of this. She insisted we contact one another primarily by phone.
I have way more than enough credits to graduate. I'm working towards a humanities degree so it's not like I'm a Physicist trying to skip Calculus 3. At this point, I was supposed to graduate in December, she even inexplicably helped me fill out my graduation application, but due to following her advice it looks like I'll be in school an extra year.
Is there anything a lawyer could do for me in this case?
I'm not looking to sue my school. I'm more interested in having an advocate who can help me navigate this relationship in which I am powerless.
Any advice is most welcome.
Thanks
