Here is your chance to educate the public the real issues behind Gallaudet Protest. Too many people in the Metro DC area still think it is all about ‘Not Deaf Enough’. It is all about a flawed presidential candidate procedure and ineffectual leadership of the Fernandes.  Fernandes have earned two no-confidence votes by the University Faculty Senate the last six years.  The majority of the faculty members have requested this morning for Fernandes to resign.  80% of the students are against the appointment of Fernandes. 

Be sure to tell them how Gallaudet Officials try to restrict the students’ expressions,  the mistreatment of the students by the security guards who don’t know sign language well, and the ban on the staff interpreters to prevent the students from talking freely with the reporters covering the protest. elizabeth

Students have been protesting at Gallaudet University for days. They are unhappy that leadership is supporting the incoming president. The students at the only liberal arts institution dedicated to the education of the deaf and hard of hearing, have said that Jane Fernandes does not have the leadership skills needed to guide the institution because she was not born deaf. They also say she is the wrong person to serve as a spokeswoman for Gallaudet, which is viewed as a major center for deaf culture around the world. The university supports Fernandes.

How do you think this issue is being handled by both sides?
