The graduate program is utterly defunct. I was admitted under the pretense that I would be able to study a specific subject, only to be partnered with an advisor (essentially your professor) in a completely different field. I requested to be changed, was denied, requested repeatedly throughout the semester, was denied, eventually dropped out because I was literally unable to study what I applied to the school to study and filed three grievances on the basis of false advertising, ethical violations, and misrepresentation of the program, only to be denied any refund. Furthermore, my assigned faculty member (Francis Charet), the program director of the Goddard Graduate Institute (Ruth Farmer), and the academic dean (Dean Lewis) dictated a series of false claims against my grievance based on outright lies or otherwise a complete misrepresentation of my information.
Let me mention that I was working in the admissions office at the time, and thus has a very intimate understanding of what my program should have been like.
I am taking my grievance to the state attorney and beyond. I refuse to be saddled with debt for a program that does not exist. As a previous undergraduate admissions counselor, I am shocked and appauled to see what Goddard College is doing to their students. I had to resign out of sheer revulsion for the school and its clear lack of moral regard. I am more than happy to discuss my sitution with any interested student, member of the press, or legal aid. This school needs to be stopped. The heinous financial burdon upon me as a result of thier poor management of my application will cripple me for years to come. I am more than willing to forward copies of all supporting documentation, my grievance, and the false claims (as well as my articulated rebuttles) for all who wish to read them.
