Is Jane cracking up?
Show Me Deaf Community Is Jane cracking up? It appears so as she keeps claiming that she is the ONLY ONE who can lead the university. She has to be desperate and selfish to say that. Now the recent news tonight about the gun incident, it seems outrageous. Is it a ploy on her part to gain sympathy? We do not need that in a leader. She may need mental [...]

Today?s Agenda

What is my reaction to Dr. Janet Hurst’s letter?  Actually, nothing.  She ain’t worth my time to dispute.  Hurst will dispute that she is not audist but trust [...]

It appears not only is she stubborn, she may actually [...]
