Dissatisfied Hearing Graduate Student
Berke Outspoken Tonight at the ASL dinner, a hearing person who had been a graduate student at Gallaudet, told me how she was unhappy with her experience there. She said she did not feel challenged enough. As an undergraduate, she said, the quality of her work on one assignment would have gotten an F, but at Gallaudet in graduate school, it got her an A. Her dissatisfaction led her [...]

Clarifying Earlier Post
Berke Outspoken Apparently, some people have misunderstood my feelings that were expressed in my earlier blog posting, "Turning Point." Someone came up to me tonight at the ASL dinner and asked, puzzled, "do you support JKF?" That person was confused by my statement that if I had to choose between a dead Gallaudet student and JKF, I would choose JKF. What I was trying to say is, I [...]

Elitism, Deafhood & the Current Protest
Random Thoughts and Musings This is the first time I?ve signed into my Blogger account since early this month. There is so much I want to talk about, because so much has happened in the last two months. But those posts will have to remain simply nuggets and partially-written snippets in a word processing file for the time being. On to the topic.As we all know, the Deaf community is in the midst [...]

Can We End The Hostile Environment?
Mishka Zena Dear GallyNetters, What sense I had when I entered the auditorium to attend Fernandes’s Open Forum presentation on the 21st of April was the hostile environment. (!) There were were DPS police there and Fernandes supporters with paranoid and hostile expressions on their faces. That was something that I had never experienced in my whole life. Not even during the [...]

Vlog of Sue Mathers on Dupree Family
Mishka Zena I’ve not watched the other videoclips yet except for one ‘legacy of carl dupree’. I feel the pain Dr Mathers showed in the vlog. She was absolutely correct. Carl Dupree’s family was abandoned by the administrators when dupree was killed. They never approached her and comforted her the night or the next day. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. [...]

Jordan Against Deaf President Concept

The Role of BoT in Protest
Mishka Zena Gallaudet’s Board of Trustees have caused this crisis.  I will explain why: 1.  Their diversity policy is poorly written, and is weak.  It could have ensured diversity was present at the presidential search committee process- that the finalists recommended are diverse, of people with color and with qualifications expected. 2.  They could have ensured that the [...]

Tent City: Bulldozing the Opposition
Mr. Sandman By now, those of you who have been paying attention to the Tent City Protest (and with even more national and international Tent Cities popping up, it's my belief that this name is very appropriate, rather than "Unity for Gallaudet" or "Gallaudet United Now," or any of these other monikers with "unity" in them-- I'm sorry, but it's still my opinion that this whole [...]
