I was recently accepted to Fordham University as a Humanitarian Studies major, though it would be quite expensive. I would love to work in some major NGO's refugee or crisis response division. I would also like to avoid getting a master's if necessary, though I am willing to if it would really make a difference.
Would getting a specialized BA void the need for a master's at all in this field?
So my girlfriend was recently placed on a mandatory personal leave by her college. The situation is all around pretty bad, but we believe we have evidence that the manner in which she was placed on leave violated her student rights.
When a student is placed on a mandatory personal leave, they have the right to appeal. My girlfriend wrote an appeal; however, the person who was supposed to review it never even accessed the document.
I feel like this would be a pretty big violation of student rights, with pretty significant consequences. Given that this is a non-citizen and the school in question would have a good legal team, is there even grounds to sue?
If there are grounds to pursue legal action, is this something any pro bono lawyer would take up? I'm not even sure what to call this issue. Education law?
I'm not sure, but any insight would be helpful.

I was just admitted as a transfer with a merit scholarship, but I'm concerend I would still need a lot of aid after that to reasonably attend. Is Fordham's FinAid office people you can talk to and maybe get more support out of them? I am a low-income student who plans to continue working through college; I know I generally qualify for aid but I would like to see how much support I can get. Part of why I'm transferring is because the FinAid officers at my last school absolutely were not interested in negotiating and it was not sustainable there
Really would love to attend though; the school is one of the only ones that have the specific major I want
Mods pls forgive me if this violates rule 3 :,)
