Hi,

There is a line on the abstract page where the PhD degree information is inserted automatically even when the proposal option is enabled:

Abstract

<Date>
<Student's name>
<other degrees mentioned in the .tex file>
Ph.D. University of Massachusetts Amherst <---- this line is wrong

Directed by: Professor <Professor's name>

<Abstract>

My advisor noticed it and I commented out the corresponding line

%\@degreeabbrv, UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST \par

in umthstd.clo, but ideally this should not be necessary. It should be inserted when the document is compiled as a thesis, and excluded when it is compiled as a proposal.

Please consider changing this so that we don't have to manipulate this manually.

Thanks,
Elif
