MEMO from Concerned Students
Memorandum
From: The Concerned Students of Gallaudet University
To: Students, Faculty and Staff of Gallaudet University
Date: October 8, 2006
We, The Concerned Students of Gallaudet University, would like to alert the entire student body that we strongly oppose the barricade of the Hall Memorial Building (HMB). We are concerned the students who want to continue their education are being denied their fundamental rights to education at Gallaudet University. The barricade of the building which primarily provide offices for the faculty members and classrooms, directly affected that academic activities of University and therefore we consider the action as gross violence of our rights.
We would like to emphasis that protesting is a choice and therefore our choice to attend our classes should equally be respected. The most relevant question we need to ask ourselves is: “Why are we in Gallaudet University in first place?” Ponder on this for a moment
We are in Gallaudet to earn a quality education. Many of us come from near and far, many of us are single parents, many of us work-study and pay our college education from our pockets, some of us are international students whose stay in college depends largely on their grades, many of us have struggled so hard with VR, and if our grades fall down, the risk of losing VR support becomes serious. We strive so hard to earn an education, an opportunity that might not be present to us everywhere. Gallaudet is one of a kind and will remain unique to us.
This dream and inspiration in us that informed our decision to come to Gallaudet for education is about to be scattered and dashed. Our future ambitions and career goals are at stake and being held to ransom by protesters who did not send us to Gallaudet. It has been said that your destiny is in your hands. Only you can decide what you want to become tomorrow by your actions of today. By coming to Gallaudet University show that you want better tomorrow, better education and better future. This protest obviously interfering with our ambitions and we are voicing out our right to earn education.
We implore the faculty and staff who are part of the protest to put the ultimate priority of their obligations to the students in consideration.
The Concerned Students are still holding consultative meeting and we would like you to send your comments and concerns to us at gallystudents@yahoo.com.
Keep your eyes for our announcement of Meeting date, time and venue
