### Incident 12 (Row 13): MSE Granted on Course Hours, Thesis Ignored
* **AAUP Redbook Review (C):** Documented in this sworn statement. Refusing to evaluate a formal thesis and instead awarding a degree solely on course hours strips the student of academic recognition for their research, violating their right to academic evaluation based on scholarly merit.
* **ADA Review (D):** Denying a disabled student the standard process of thesis defense and review, which is a critical academic benefit and credentialing process, constitutes disparate treatment.
* **Title IX / VII Review (E):** Systematically downgrading or ignoring the substantive work of an older/disabled student to push them out the door is a discriminatory practice that limits their future professional opportunities.
* **Veteran / VEVRAA Review (F):** Fails to provide equal academic advancement opportunities to a veteran, violating the spirit of non-discrimination in educational outcomes.
