Reply to "Testing at UNA"

As an alumnus and in higher education, I apologize for her actions. I hope that you also realize that it is most likely just a clerk and not a salaried employee of the University of North Alabama.

UNA serves a very different function from NWSCC
or Calhoun or UAH. It is a liberal arts university whose emphasis is on teaching and turning out graduates for graduate school or a beginning career in public education from K-12.

UAH is a major reseach university, like UA or UAB or Auburn. They offer graduate and postgrad education as well as undergrad bachelors. This (churning out undergrads) is their cashcow. The graduate depts. are much more expensive to maintain than just a handfull of teaching assts. and a few dozen instructors per college for undergrad.

Any school that has a working community is more apt to be more understanding than one without, sorry, but that is the way it is.

But none of this excuses rudeness and the fact that you were expected to know unwritten in house "rules" as you most likely have not yet taken the mind reading class yet. I would have told this to the rude lady. It is amazing what this statement will do to set their opinion of you turned around.
