A Lesson to Learn:


IKJ Found Hypocrism


IKJ made big mistakes. Big time!

It was well known to all of us that President I. King Jordan wrote a letter of support for Provost Jane K. Fernandes for his job as the next university president. It is unethical. Now it proves to be extremely awkward for him to be absolutely objective within his own academic community because he had created a subtle premeditation—a clever strategy formed to arm-twist the presidential search and the Board of Trustees into selecting a successor to his own like before it was done—for Dr. Jane K. Fernandes. By writing the support letter for Dr. Fernandes, President Jordan simply lost his presidential credentials and professional neutrality. Consequently, he lost trust, faith and imagination from the Gallaudet University community worldwide.

Last Friday, October 13th, President Jordan, with assistance from the Metropolitan Police, tried to quash the voices and careers of faculty, staff, students, and alumni (GUFSSA) staging a peaceful protest at Gallaudet University. 135 people were arrested and booked. It was evident that President Jordan intended to mount “psychological” oppression on these peaceful protestors as “academic subversives.” Right now he is doing anything he could to restore status quo at Gallaudet University with his successor Dr. Jane K. Fernandes now at the helm.

Through arresting and booking 135 intellectual people, President Jordan served to abolish all the quotas that all Deaf people can. I am damn sure Gallaudet University PR has denied doing this because President Jordan knows what goes on in campus. Refer to the October 13th news in which leaders from the university administration roused against the GUFSSA members protesting there. Why such hypocrisy on one side talking about social justice and on other side accusing students for their peaceful behavior. Why not! In hypocrisy, President Jordan found hypocrism.

Morale: Never write anyone a letter of support for your position let alone hypocrisy for hypocrism merges in no time!
