Her professor counceled her to let him trap others in the same situation?!? Fine professor.

Sounds like she should wait until after she gets her phd, then scream. And, while leveling accusations at the professor too.

He's as guilty as they are.

Were I in this situation, I would be quite sure the professor is receiving kickbacks.

You should council your friend to keep as much data, write everything down (keep a log book), keep backups of emails etc.

Don't let time, let scum win.

I did, but as a tall white middle-class male counseling a short young inner-city woman of color it's a little difficult without being patronizing. Her response was "This is not even the worst thing that's been done to me; I have to let some of it go."

Would you have felt more comfortable counselling her if you were 3 or 4" shorter?

Not all want to fight the just fight. By fighting you become the victim twice.

Yes, you may save others but I cant blame someone for makinf the pragmatic choice for their lives and family.
