Was the act of purposefully omitting all of the classes I didn't like a lie?
No, I would not consider that a lie. First I would see it as my responsibility to know what classes I need to graduate. Second, I would assume you would have a bias and direct me to classes you thought were best.

If you knowingly mislead me, and knew the advice you gave would mean I would not graduate, yes - you lied. However, if you believed the courses you recommend would actual lead to my graduation, but in-fact they do not - you were either uninformed or incompetent.

I think the intel the administration used was incorrect.
