TO: Melissa Genet, Dean of the College of English

FROM: Sybil Van Antwerp

August 5, 2015

I am writing for the fifth and final time to you before I am forced to escalate my request that you reconsider your position on auditing courses in the College of English.

Two years have passed since your first refusal, two years of my life I cannot repeat, and I would like to think you were simply taking a bit of time to get your wits about you in the position of dean.

A modern literature course would be preferable—1800s at the earliest. Patience waning.
