Trustees Plan Special Meeting on Sunday
Gallaudet University's board of trustees will hold a special meeting Sunday if they can ensure the security that will be needed, according to Chairman Brenda Jo Brueggemann.
Protesters at the school for the deaf in Northeast Washington, who want incoming president Jane K. Fernandes to resign, have been calling on the board to meet to resolve the school's problems.
Demonstrations started in May when the board announced that Fernandes would be president as of Jan. 1.
The agenda for the meeting is not complete, and other details are not finalized. If security can't be ensured, the date could change, Brueggemann said.
Protests continued yesterday, and there was a candlelight vigil supporting eight people on a hunger strike.
Also yesterday, faculty voted to recommend investigating the presidential search process, and to ask for an independent mediator, add term limits and periodic evaluations of the president and to increase the sign language requirement for tenured faculty.

** Editor's note (SHOWMEDEAFCOMMUNITY)
Let's pray and hope that the Board of Trustees will reconsider the appointment and re-open the search process. We will appreciate the resignations of I. King Jordan and Jane Fernandes. We may ask the entire board of trustees who have currently been dragging their feet to turn in their resignations. We request GUAA to monitor the elections for new board members with undertanding the alumni at 51%.
We need to set up checks and balances to avoid any more cronyism, audism and corruption!
Will the man upstairs strike his message to Brenda and get it through her head that it is a crisis! Where is the fidiuciary control?
Thanks
