Reprisals Fair?

Mishka Zena The BoT have agreed to the FSSA’s first demand, the resignation of Jane Fernandes, but so far it refused to honor the second request, no reprisals for students, faculty, staff and alumni. This part is very significant to me and also very troubling, as the refusal to honor it makes several significant statements. So I will [...]

More About Reprisals, Pictures & The Letter

RidorLIVE Since the Board of Trustees declined the second demand regarding the reprisals, I can understand why they did that. You see, the Board lost the first four demands in 1988, and this time, they accepted the first demand but for the Board to assert its power, they had to say no to that demand. When the [...]

My Reflections In Last 48 Hours

RidorLIVE About The Washington Post’s Editorial: I talked to a good friend about this piece of trash, he just was done reading the editorial and said, “I read it. That person who writes it is umm ... farthead.” Truer words were never spoken! But remember what David Eberwein said during the Deafhood presentation? He said that when we [...]

jeffcarlson's Xanga BACK TO NORMAL(Gallaudet)It is finally over from last Sunday when the BoT elected to rescind Doctor Jane's appointment as the next president of Gallaudet. It is finally over that the students can go back to school and teachers can now teach. All of that without distraction. It is really over now that I can get my life back to normal. For the past two months, the [...]

RidorLIVE Many years ago, my English teacher in high school, Rachel Bavister once said that history is like rowing the boat — you stare in the past while u row forward — in other words, you remember the history. This is what it is all about. Someone asked me what I think of the 28-day protest (Oct. 2 [...]

Tent City: Aftermath Part II

Mr. Sandman Last night I discussed some possible ideas for how to handle the transition, and what I thought the Board of Trustees should do next. Now I'd like to examine yet again each group involved in the protest, and where I think they might (or should) go from here (I previously examined the actors in Framing the Stalemate: Intermission, where I explored what each party had [...]

Berke Outspoken A cyberfriend (SkepticalGraduate) messaged me to tell me of his doubts that Gallaudet's enrollment would increase as a result of the increased name recognition. SkepticalGraduate (not his real screen name) is a late '90s graduate, who works for a major retail chain and has struggled financially. He had a lot to say. Our AIM conversation is below:SkepticalGrad: i read [...]

Show Me Deaf Community Just this morning (October 31, 2006) Washington Post had an editorial "Gallaudet's Loss - The ouster of the university's incoming president defeats her vision of a more diverse institution. " (Tuesday, October 31, 2006; Page A20) It shows how dumb and dumber hearing people get everyday when it comes to Deaf issues! They still do not understand [...]
