Well I have an update now. I appealed to the academic dean about the new director's divisiveness (she refused to follow the previous masters program course fulfillment requirements, b/c she wants to change the scope of my masters program to fit her own higher education political agenda).
Fortunately, the academic dean sided with me and told the director that she can't dictate who gets to graduate and who doesn't, and that she has to follow the masters program's previous course fulfillment requirements before she took over from the retired program director. So, I get to finish my masters program now and am enrolled in my capstone. I even filled out the intent to graduate form too.
I'm so relieved. You have no idea.
