Then again, do I really wanna call this guy and whine like a lazy arse? I mean he is the dean and all

There's definitely a correct way to word it and come across.

I don't think there's anything wrong with saying in better words, "My teacher is having us come to campus for a mandatory lab during Fall Break, and I was just wondering if this was allowed."

It's not like you're marching in demanding change. You're just asking if they're aware of such a thing and if it's allowed.

That said, is Fall Break tomorrow? You're kinda late on the draw here

When I was in college, I had a teacher give us a project during Spring Break that required several hours in the other library looking at archives. She told us about it like a week before Spring Break, when people already had out of town trips scheduled and stuff.

I had one free day before I left for my trip, so I had to squeeze it in that day, but I remember being bummed.

Never went to anyone about it, though, because they could say the weekends aren't technically Spring Break. But in your case, this is you physically being present on campus during a holiday. That's crap.

Why are you calling KC White...who is the Dean of Students?

You should be calling the Deans office of the college the class resides in, dumbass.

And KC is a cancer survivor, I'm sure she's concerned your view of her appearance.
