Thursday, October 26, 2006
Serenity_EM's Xanga It's after 2 AM, on Thursday morning, here on the Eastern Coast. The events of Wednesday continues to resonate in my mind. What the administration did, in my opinion, is unforgivable and unjustifiable. There was no warning given, no quarter granted. They just marched up Mount Bison and destroyed the tent city there. I definitely believe this was done in retaliation [...]

From A Faculty Witness At MSSD Gate
Mishka Zena I got this story from a GU faculty member (who has given permission too) who happened to be at the MSSD gate this morning.  Read the story and know that this teacher just emailed me saying that we should not blame the underprepared DPS or PPD–this teacher suggests and I agree, that it is the administration who should take [...]

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 [...]
