Sean, you're approaching drama queen status on this one! As far as I can tell from watching this thread, nobody told you not to go to school, nor did they tell you that you couldn't use the tuition reimbursement program. All anyone said to you, as far as I can tell, is that you can't use "getting a degree" as one of your objectives for the year. BFD!
You can, with a little imagination, add individual courses to your objectives by directly relating them to the work that you do. Or, you can come up with the usual mundane list of objectives and just go to school on their dime. If I were you, I'd come up with a different objective for the official objectives list, then go knock on HR's door to find out about the tuition reimbursement program. You'll probably find that the coursework has to have some bearing on the work you do for your company and that you have to complete the class with a C or better - at least that's the way these programs are usually defined.
