From the footmisc manual:
User interface---interactions with other packages
...
hyperref
The hyperref package has ambitions to make hyperlinks from
footnote marks to the corresponding footnote body; naturally this
causes grief to footmisc, and unfortunately no remedy is currently
known. If you use footmisc, suppress hyperref’s hyper-footnotes,
by loading it as:
\usepackage[hyperfootnotes=false,...]{hyperref}
Further work on the interaction between the two packages is
proposed, but not yet scheduled.

I can't delay the hyperref import until after footmisc, because the
hyperref import happens inside drexel-thesis.
