i wasn't sure how much waikato's refusal to acknowledge i completed the masters was about the content of the masters (if they got confused between *liking* or even *agreeing* with what i was saying and the issue of whether the thesis was acceptable as a masters thesis to internationally accepted standards of scholarship)..
vs how much it was about doing whatever they thought they needed to do or whatever they thought it would help for them to do in order to ensure that i not get to study medicine with auckland.
the auckland lawyers... muttered something... when i was saying that i provided auckland with all the information they needed to judge my completion for themselves -- the thesis, the regulations, the reports of examiners and fact they did not return the thesis, the fact that i supplied a substantively updated thesis within 10 weeks that was substantively updated in ways required by the examiers...
she said it was about medicine.
they weren't acknowledging the completion of the masters for the purpose of keeping me out of medicine.
don't get me wrong, i'm sure that they would have kept me out of medicine even if i lied about why i wanted to complete the masters. if i pretended that i wanted to do a shorter project before opening up a fish shop... auckland still would have insisted on lying about my GPA so as to tell me that i just wasn't good enough academically for their highly valued programme.
but they were thinking particularly about keeping me out of medicine that they wanted to discredit me so, by saying i didn't even have the capacity to do a masters.
the thing of it, really, is that they wanted me to spend the rest of my days sucking up sucking up sucking up sucking up to get credit for a phd in philsophy. so that i would never ever ever be paid to work in that field.
so i'd be forced, effectively, to basically do as i'm doing now... write and hand it over and write and hand it over and write and hand it over... f or no credit.
so that other people can take my ideas and respond to them or write them into their own work that they get credit for and so on and nobody acknowledge or pay me.
they thought that would be good slave-work for me.
never medicine. that was slave-work for other people to sign the forms that say 'no treatment for this person' and 'discharge no treat' and 'organ donor' and 'brain dead' and 'it's probably a virus so there's nothing we can do (no labs, no medication)' and so on...
