I Want My Life Back
DeafDC.com ...and it seems I’m not alone. Gallaudet right now is a de facto war zone. I can see it in my students’ eyes, regardless of their position or non-position on the protest. When I teach, they slump in their chairs and are barely able to articulate themselves. A month ago these same students [...]

Dr. Glenn Anderson was chair of the BoT. (He resigned from [...]

Corrupted Adminstration
Deaf Bison Network That’s what the emotions are swirling around Gallaudet University and the deaf community globally after the morning’s incident.

Board of Twinkies Has to Step Up
Drolz Uncensored I've had it. I can't keep quiet anymore. I can't stay on the sidelines and say nothing while the Gallaudet University I love so much falls apart at the seams. I don't care if you're pro-FSSA or pro-Jane. The fact that this situation has escalated to the mess it is now is an abomination that falls at the feet of the Board of Truste... no, wait, make that Board of [...]

Turning Point
Berke Outspoken For once, I find myself at a loss for words. At lunchtime today, I was stunned to see the news about what had happened today at Gallaudet. Bulldozers? Bleeding toes and possibly fractured knees? Hospitalization? Fire trucks? What sounds like a battle between students and DPS? A student almost hit by a speeding DPS vehicle? A swarm of Metro police on campus? [...]
