I agree with the dean here. School is all about meeting certain predetermined standards. To go back and make exceptions to that standard, to put it bluntly, out of pity means those standards are worthless. If another student was in an accident and had to miss his final for his major, does he get awarded a diploma out of pity? Nope. Should he get an honorary diploma? Nope. No one would question it. What if he died in the accident? Still, nothing. This case isn't any different.
I would be surprised if she would want a "pity" diploma. After all that work, she's will to accept a statement that she's completed the requirements to graduate, fully knowing she did not?
