Faculty Marches to President?s House
Elisa Abenchuchan After the Deafhood workshop today (it was great, by the way), there was a flurry of faculty members outside of MPR in SAC. Every faculty member had a sign saying 82% taped on a piece of clothing - on a hat, a jacket, or a shirt. They were getting ready to go on a faculty [...]

It is OUR Gallaudet, Not YOUR Gallaudet
Berke Outspoken On my way from home, one of my cyberfriends told me that King Jordan had cancelled homecoming. What?!! Now that is going too far.What is Jordan afraid of? The huge numbers of alumni gathering to protest the selection of Fernandes? He must be afraid of something or he would not have cancelled homecoming.This is only going to anger alumni further. It is punishing [...]

Not Just Kids Protesting
Berke Outspoken Another point that Jordan and Fernandes and their backers keep making in the media is that this is a "student" protest. That it is just kids. But the faculty is also protesting.That's faculty, as in mature men and women, both hearing and deaf. Fernandes will be their boss (actually she already WAS their boss as provost) and they have a right to protest their future [...]

Patty's Blog Never before I ever experienced such an explosion of virtual information coming this way about the protests at Gallaudet!If it wasn't for those amazing Deaf bloggers reporting live from Gallaudet, I don't think I would have taken the time to learn about tumultuous events currently occurring on campus.I lead a very sedate life in a surburban town outside Philadelphia.

Washington Post Reporting Biased?
Berke Outspoken Is the Washington Post biased in favor of Jane Fernandes? It most certainly is, at least in the editorials. Every editorial in the post about the Gallaudet protest so far, has been in support of Fernandes.But the Post's reporting also seems biased overall in favor of Fernandes despite efforts to seem balanced. Often in Post articles, when student/protestor concerns [...]

Musings on communication No one is publicly addressing those who are on a hunger strike to show their sincerity for the Gallaudet protest?perhaps there are those who are in sympathy and who say nothing for fear of being seen as anti-protest. But hunger strikes are inappropriate for this situation?The administration DOESN?T CARE. The hunger strikers are jeopardizing their health, possibly [...]
