Dr. What do you do?

In my many meetings with LaKeysha I got to talking about who would be the right person to talk to in order to find out why this is happening. She told me Mr. Witryk, the head of the registrar was the one in charge but that the problems arose above him. In the end, she suggested I try to meet with Dr. Rainsford who is the Vice President of Academic Affairs. I tried. This is a man I know at least three students have tried to meet with. One of them did. After being canceled on three times. Dr. Rainsford fell asleep during their meeting. The student was a graduate of the first ever CIA BPS program who had returned for the Baking degree. He dropped out shortly after the meeting.
Here's my experience so far. Updates to come.
Wednesday the 13th I went into Dr. Rainsfords office to request a meeting. The secretary told me he was in a meeting at the moment and would be in meetings with the board through the end of next week but she would see what she could do. I told her it was related to my schedule and experience in the bachelors program. She jotted it down on a piece of scrap paper and said she would call me. Two days later, Friday the 15th, I got a call at 9:38am asking if I could meet with Dr. Rainsford on the coming Wednesday at 10am. I could and said I would. The next Tuesday the 19th, I stopped into his office before class to confirm my appointment. They said they had no record of it. Then the secretary realized she had handed my request off to Dean Merget. Dean Mergets secretary had no information for me and they told me sorry, they would try to make another appointment for me.
Later that day I got a phone call from Dr. Rainsfords secretary informing me that my meeting was with Mr. Witryk, the registrar. I had already talked with the registrar plenty of times, but I thanked her and asked if she would try to schedule another appointment for me with the good Dr.. I have yet to hear back.
