I hate to be the one to break it to you but this isn't the real world. It's a senior project, and he has a chance to justify the reason to do a project in the language he see's fit, not what the political machine wants. I just don't buy the "don't go against the tide" mentality, and obviously you don't either cause you are on a php mailing list.
I've got to agree. There's a difference between your boss telling you what to program in vs. a university dictating what technology can be used for graduation work.
I can't help out with the original question, though. What university do you go to? I thought graduate work was supposed to be on the cutting edge, making the new technologies?? How are you going to do that if they make you use MS?
