Gallaudet Parents Continue to Support our Students

GALLY PARENTS,
 
    What can I say.  It is still very difficult here.  A real critical time.  Even though many parents have gone, we are still here (David and myself) and are working hard staying involved in this protest. We have set up systems for parents to help from their homes as well.  If you have any skills that you think will help us, please let us know. There are many others including faculty, staff, and alumni that are working just as hard to see that Jane Fernandes resigns.
  
It is very upsetting to watch IKJ, threaten, lie, intimidate, manipulate, and continue to launch his full force PR campaign against our kids and everyone involved. This is the most unbelievable thing I have ever seen in my life.

We still have students on the hunger strike.  They are getting weak now but are being monitored.  It is cold here now and we all are concerned for their health.  Still they stand persistent in this strike.

It is speculated that the Board of Trustees (BOT) will meet on Sunday, Oct. 29th. Hard to tell what will happen between now and then. It is important to continue to network with anyone you know that can make a difference.

As things unfold, we will keep you informed.  Continue to do whatever you can to help.  Encourage your children and support them.  I applaud our kids, their beloved faculty, and staff that are here protecting and embracing Gallaudet.
