So you're leaving then??
The only thing an employer is obligated to give you is a letter of experience - art. 46 in the law - if you have a new job offer, the new employer sends a letter of request to transfer the visa. If they refuse, you have another thing to bring up in the mediation and the ministry will support you.
The labour dispute offices are in ruwi - do you know the older mosque, I think it is called the Qaboos mosque. Very near the bus station, a landmark is Spicy village restaurant which is at the corner of the street where the ministry is - you can't miss it.
You can be polite but firm about it although I wouldn't go so far as to equate increased powers of negotiation to the color of your skin. It is clearly wrong what they are trying to do and they likely know it.

Thanks for the mail. I went to speak to the dean today and they have backed off on their positions. They agreed to let us go (another teacher is also going) around the day we need. Additionally, I brought up their idea of charging for the ticket and he said it was their right. However, when I cited article 24 of the labour code then he backed off that as well.
He tried to make it seem as the decisions were made by the college board of directors and he was always trying to help us. Ha! 
Anyways, I got my check for Dec today. Additionally, the dean said we should write a letter to explain the new exit conditions and he would forward it to the board for approval. We will see what happens with that. He also indicated that they would provide the release letters on our last day which made us relax a bit.
So, it seems that they do respond to facts of the law. This should be a lesson of some sorts to be familiar with the labour laws in your country so you don't get screwed. 
Thanks for the help and advice!
