Are *you* going to bring action against the school?  You could proceed
administratively for free.

Unfortunately I'm in an awkward stage of my career. This is my 3rd year in
graduate school, with 2 or 3 more years to go. I have been happy with nearly
all aspects of my time studying at UMass. It would be a royal pain to try to
switch horses in midstream. And I very much want to finish my degree.

Meanwhile, I think I can safely say that from this point on I need to dot
all my i's and cross all my t's until I graduate from UMass. Suppose it
turned out that no-one wanted to sit on my thesis committee ?  I'm sure
anyone who's been through grad school can imagine other disturbing
hypothetical scenarios.

James Donald may characterize me as gutless. I think he would probably be 
correct to some extent.

Have I answered your question ?
