non-responsive academic program advisor/manager My graduate program advisor/manager (one, who manages logistics of students; not for thesis) and I had arguments about how he proceeded the work.
Last semester, he dropped my course without my notice, because he speculated my registration was not achievable. Thus, I had arguments with my graduate program advisor/manager and resolved it during a face-to-face meeting.
Afterwards, I had a problem with working with him.
He does not provide right information to my inquiry on a visa, so I had to ask another person for the correct information. In addition, he ended up ignoring my email inquires on a visa over 3 months.
Do you have any suggestions how to resolve this issue?
I thought of reporting this issue to the department, but I am not sure whether it's a good idea.
Any comments would be appreciated.
This seems to be an administrator level problem. Escalate it through the administration as necessary. And get your advisor to argue on your behalf. It seems odd that someone would disapprove a course that the advisor approves.
But there is probably a better advocate for the visa problem. If they aren't doing their job, escalation is warranted, and perhaps necessary.
