Not Only Lied To, But Also Lied About
Kalalau's Korner Not Only Lied To, But Also Lied AboutWe the Deaf are being not only lied to, but also lied about. And even worse, we are being used and exploited. I am not a pacifist?I think there are times when there are things worth fighting for. But helping IKJ and JKF build a bigger endowment on an erratic priority is not worth touting for.Looking at the students at Gallaudet [...]

Using Gallaudet Funds for IKJ?s Retirement Gala?
RidorLIVE How dare they! I was informed that each plate costs $250.  The total attendance was about 300.  In other words, it costs $75,000.  Not only that, their soup is the Lobster Bisque! Want more?  Apparently, I. King Jordan felt that the chairs in GUKCC was not good enough so they imported the chairs with gold trimmed on [...]

Protestors Still Determined, Stay Overnight in HMB
Elisa Abenchuchan A freshman, Bradley Gantt, had a great idea - to set up a “Bison Saloon” where everybody could express their feelings on paper, to get all the negativity out - it was very therapeutic for everyone. Here’s a short video clip of the Bison Saloon. You can see just exactly what’s on the minds of [...]

Deaf in the City 357: audism mandates; what message to tell the worldAUDISM MANDATES: One criticism of Jane Fernandes is that she has no plan for compliance with the audism mandates. I challenged myself to come up with a conceptual structure for campus and community to deal with these mandates. It was clear to me that whereas the concept of audism is a new concept still under [...]

Here Is The Proof That Mercy Coogan Lied!

The proof is sufficient to indicate that Mercy Coogan is lying and the Press MUST know that she was lying all along.Mercy Coogan, your pants are on fire.  You’re liar.  So [...]

Power Behind Throne
Mishka Zena Last night I had a fascinating talk with a good friend of mine, who was a former employee at Gally and knows a lot of what is inside Gally and how Gally operates, through videoconferencing.  He said that Paul Kelly, VP for Finance is actually the power behind the throne.  IKJ and JF rely hevily [...]

Patti Kunkle Is The Key
RidorLIVE My sources has confirmed that Patti Kunkle, the special assistant to the President’s Office, attended all six finalists’ interviews.  Patti was invovled with the Presidential Search Committee.  She reports everything else to Dr. I. King Jordan. The claims that Dr. I. King Jordan has no interference in the next President of Gallaudet is wholly untrue.  It [...]

Lockdown Continues!
RidorLIVE That’s it.  I’m heading off to Washington tonight. The IrvingBOTs heard the student leaders and dismissed them as well. Only two minutes after the meeting concluded, the interim Chair Brenda Brueggemann sent the heart-wrenching email to the Gallaudet community.  They also claimed that the security team is doing good job.  But in reality, they brutalized [...]

BoT Firm: Fernandes Stays
Mishka Zena The arrogance of BoT, ignoring the whole Community and the protest, ignoring the negative PR coveragevaccumulating in the media, especially after the violence of its security guards against its students were exposed. For sure, the BoT doesn’t represent the Gallaudet Community.    Clearly, this has been a difficult day here on campus.  I must say, at the outset, [...]
