Protest Veritas Blogsite on Gally Protest
Mike McConnell There's a new blogsite in town and the name is "Protest Veritas". Whoever is doing this is keeping a list of all menacing tactics and behaviors committed by protesters at Gallaudet University. Whether any of these reports are true is up for debate and whether the FSSA is consciously trying to cover these incidents committed by student protesters. But do check it out. [...]

The HMB incident: Part 1
The Gallaudet Protest: What you don't know The Deaf Community is wise. The Deaf Community is strong ? but the Deaf Community does not have the whole TRUTH:Were you aware that the recent incident in HMB involved a protester throwing a bottle at a DPS officer first and, conveniently, that provocation was not filmed or mentioned?

A respectful protest ... oh, really?
The Gallaudet Protest: What you don't know The Deaf Community is wise. The Deaf Community is strong ... but the Deaf Community does not have the whole TRUTH:Did you know that protesting students, with the approval of protesting faculty, went into the historically registered College Hall and smeared dung all over the waiting room of the president's office? Doesn't sound like respecting property to me. What do [...]

HMB Incident: Part 3
The Gallaudet Protest: What you don't know The Deaf Community is wise. The Deaf Community is string ? but the Deaf Community does not have the whole TRUTH:Did you notice in the video of the HMB scene that the DPS officer was trying to leave peacefully and it was the protesters who started to block his way and run into him first preventing him from carrying out his duty to make sure that HMB was secure?

Gallaudet Protest Thoughts...
Deaf Firefighter's Blog Since the deaf blog-o-sphere has been abuzz about the events of the last few days at Gallaudet (CNN, WashPost)) , I figured it was time for me to put my own two cents in. I'm a former Buff and Blue Editor in Chief and served as SBG President very briefly in the '90's. By far, the best letter written on the issue comes from Roger Kraft and is posted on the GUFSSA.ORG [...]

Save Gallaudet University:
Kalalau's Korner Save Gallaudet University: Stop Presidential MonarchyMonarchy is one of the oldest forms of government, with echoes in the ?my turf? or ?in-house? leadership. I am writing this post because I don?t think a secular academic freedom at Gallaudet is a guarantee of higher education because of the upcoming JKF presidency. I would consider that an in-house promotion is a [...]

Will Protesters Gain Access to Office of Provost in HMB?
Mike McConnell I question the tactic by protesters who have hijacked Hall Memorial Building (HMB) on the campus of Gallaudet University. If this hijacking continues into this upcoming week this means many of the classes may be cancelled or moved elsewhere. Also, many of the staff and faculty offices are located in HMB where they have their computers, letters, books, gradings and [...]
