Hi Jane,
First off, while your letter is signed anonymous, please note that your forum post here is not anonymous.
While MacInsiders may not be the best place to post these concerns, as we are only students here and not in control of changing McMaster Policy, this
is a community of student support. Know that you are not alone, hypothetical situation or not.
Is there a specific policy you are referring to that you don't agree with? You posted your hypothetical situation, but didn't mention a specific policy, even though your thread is titled "McMaster Policies".
There are a few services on campus you could seek for guidance and assistance:
