BoTs to Meet on Sunday, October 29th!
The GU Private Investigator The Washington Post Online is reporting that the Board of Trustees will meet on Sunday, October 29th, that is, if they can ensure the security that is needed, according to Brenda Brueggenman.  Security?! Apparently, Brenda’s afraid of those shooting threats, anarchists and terrorists that Jane has been babbling about lately. Excuse the cliches but if the Board [...]

Gally Should Follow American University
Mishka Zena American University has made reforms from the BOT level and all the way down to employee’s right to blow whistles on improper activities (a deterrent to management by intimidation culture). Gallaudet can benefit enormously from similiar reforms. This may explain how the current presidential selection process was flawed from the beginning. AU decided to reform [...]

My Deafhood Journey
Kalalau's Korner Whenever I set out on a journey, it pays to prepare carefully. If this were a trip by car, I?d check the oil, fill the gas tank, and be sure to put air in the spare tire. I?d take a good road map and pack clothing to serve me in a variety of situations. In the same manner, as I embark on my path of Deafhood, a few simple preparations will make the time I spend much [...]
