[Oasfaa] What would you do









Hey Colleagues, need your advice.  I have a student who applied as a 
dependent and was selected for verification, but cannot provide the income 
verification documents because his parents will not support him because 
they wanted him to go to school in Florida and he choose to follow his 
Oklahoma girl friend (of a different race) and come to school here.   

He wants us to do an override on the basis that his parents will no longer 
provide him with support (unwillingness to support) since he choose to 
come to Oklahoma against their wishes.  He has a mentor who reminds me 
that she knows important people and she is now trying make a appointment 
with my president to make me do my job.   Did i tell you i am getting 
pressured to do a dependency override because "FAFSA says I can".   

Anybody want to share your thoughts.
