    Committee members for supervising thesis and dissertations are normally locked once you submit the committee form. There are no changing them unless it is under extreme circumstances. We are talking circumstances like death, retirement, and pending legal issues. Otherwise, things like scheduling, professional conflicts, and personality differences are not acceptable reasons. Sucks for OOP for being stuck with a shitty person.

      Yeah, I know. I have an MA and a PhD. Ideally, you would already know if this kind of person was on your committee. In practice, you’re probably stuck.
