Why did the BoT sleep in 2000?
Why did the BoT sleep in 2000?
The faculty did object quietly to the BoT about Jordan’s appointing
Fernandes as provost in 2000 without consulting the shared
governance for the procedural approval. They did let the BoT know
that they voted no confidence for Fernandes as provost. Dr. Glenn
Anderson was chair of the BoT. (He resigned from the BoT in
November of 2005 to apply for presidency of Gallaudet University.)
Two things would not happened if the BoT did not sleep. One,
Gallaudet would not have received an F (ineffective) for 2000-2005
under Provost Fernandes’s management. Two, Gallaudet would
not have seen the protest conducted by some faculty, students, staff,
and alumni. Therefore, it is the incompetent BoT who is the source
of hurting the image of Gallaudet. The names of the Trustées are
as follows:
Board of Trustees Members
Dr. Glenn Anderson, Arkansas, Chair
Cynthia W. Ashby, Goergia
Dr. Brenda Jo Brueggemann, Acting Chair, Ohio
Susan J. Dickinson, G-’77, Colorado

Pamela Holmes, ‘74, Wisconsin
Dr. Tom Humphries, ‘68 & G-’72, California
L. Richard Kinney, Wisconsin

Christopher D. Sullivan, New Jersey
Charles V. Williams, Ohio
Frank H. Wu, Michigan

Alexander E. Patterson, Connecticut
Dr. Robert G. Sanderson, ‘41, Utah
John T.C. Yeh, ‘71, Maryland
Honorary Emeriti
Nanette Fabray MacDougall, California
All official contacts with the Board of Trustees must go through the Office of the President, College Hall, Room 216.
Would that the BoT had not slept. Consequentially, Gallaudet burns.
I hope that someone will volunteer to interview Dr. Glenn Anderson
and ask him why the BoT slept in 2000.

We need to stop criticizing the board if we want a
positive response from them on Sunday. I think they know now that I. King Jordan ISNT the so nice,so wonderful
Gally Prez they thought he was. What’s happened at Gally the past few weeks and especially this morning at the MSSD
gate has got to help the FSSA cause Keep your mouth shut and be there on sunday when they show up.
UNITY for GALLAUDET!
ALWAYS VICTORY!
Do not tell me to shut my mouth.
I feel BoT has been derelict in its duty to protect the university by abandoning it in the time of crisis. It is my hope that they will see the light this Sunday.
Couldn’t find any records in 2000 but earliest I can find is from Aug 2001.
Sure was surprised to see fewer alumni on BOT back then and we have more now than then!
Dr. Glenn Anderson, chair (no voting power except to break ties?)
Dr. Cynthia W. Ashby, Georgia
Celia May Baldwin (known alumni)
Anthony J. Buzzelli (is this one working for Deloitte & Touche in corporate tax business?)
Richard A. Dysart (film-maker - no clue as to whether he’s deaf or not but I recogized some of his films.)
Dr. Vinton Cerf
Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole, not deaf, now president of Spelman College
Bill Graham, Secretary
Dr. Angela Jorges-Quinones (no trace of her I can find.)

Wasn’t it suggested earlier that BoT may be kept in dark as all correspondence goes thru President office?
Or did faculty contact BoT directly back then?
David, thanks for sharing this interesting tidbit with us
That is an excellent question, anonymous.
