Totally agree. We already do so many things that the administration should do. It's at least good that the student is figuring out how to advocate for themselves and standing in line somewhere else.

I wish I had known this skill in the 90s as a shy undergrad student who knew nothing about it. I never thought you could complain about grades or professors. I just wish students would also see how rampant cheating costs them all. Grade inflation plus cheating means good students suffer more. That's the problem.

Back to the OP. The lying, though, is a problem regardless if it's to me or administration. I hate how common it is. Smh at students I used to respect: please stop lying about everything.
