LONG LIVE GALLAUDET ALUMNI
GUAA News I would like to thank the Board of Trustees taking the first step in ending the serious crisis that has engulfed our alma mater. In this first important step, we have learned how valuable our community is to us.  Especially the community outside of Gallaudet University’s Gates.  The University has realized how important it is to maintain [...]

Eye of Newt, and Toe of Frog
Mr. Sandman Gallaudet may have dominated this blog and many, many others over the past month, but Gallaudet isn't and never has been the center point of my world. As I told friends a couple weeks ago, "When all this is over, I don't want to hear the word 'Gallaudet' again for about a year." The actual protest has ended (so far!), and my thoughts will be turning to some of the [...]

ACTA Shoves It?s Face In!
BiblioMarket Earlier this week, I wrote twice on the ACTA [an outside organization with no connection to the Deaf] sticking it’s nose in Gallaudet business. Now that their advice to the BoT was dismissed, they have decided that sticking their nose in our business is not enough. This time they are shoving their FACE in the [...]

It Was Not His Fault
RidorLIVE No, it was not Forrest Wooster’s fault.  He simply forwarded the email which was sent to him regarding the suicide of Fernandes.  somehow, his pager address was attached on it. MishkaZena reported that it was “deafoghorn@x....com” that wrote it — without his permission to print his email address.  So all hell broke loose, he is being [...]

Heroism on Both Sides
Mishka Zena While I appreciate that we are taking a moment to recognize different people who have contributed to the recent changes on campus, I do not feel comfortable with naming names. The fact is, there are just so many heroes– and on both sides. People who have stood by Jane Fernandes to offer her support are just as heroic, even [...] [...]

BiblioMarket From: InsideHigherEd.com By Lennard J. Davis As the smoke settles over the Gallaudet University campus, there?s still a lot of steam rising.

Calm at Gallaudet? NOT Until the LIES Stop!
BiblioMarket SOME media outlets STILL do not ‘get it.’ They continue to perpetuate the simple lies upon their readership, perhaps because the complex truths are too just hard for them to grasp. We won the battle on campus, but must continue to fight the war in the media. Note the last two paragraphs of the [...]

WHAT DANGEROUS PRECEDENT???
Show Me Deaf Community "While many on campus celebrated, others warned that a dangerous precedent had been set. The board allowed itself "to be whipsawed by various constituencies with a variety of agendas," said Anne D. Neal of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni in a statement. "Gallaudet's governance has now proven dysfunctional not once -- but twice. It's imperative that the [...]

TRY PUTTING MJ AND JANE IN SAME ROOM?
Show Me Deaf Community Going back to that moment when MJ confronted Jane about her arrogance in her statement of being the only person to lead Gallaudet, it may be World War III. MJ may want to relish her moments with Jane behind the door. Jane is more of an employee... no longer a boss or above dear MJ. Will MJ forgive Jane or give her a pink [...]

NEARLY a month of astonishingly passionate protest ended on Sunday when the Gallaudet University board voted to revoke the appointment of Dr. Jane Fernandes as the institution?s next president.

Silence RE: JKF's Fate
Deaf Tea Time Nobody know what will become of jkf now that she has been removed from the presidential seat. Some people say she still has tenure and will resume her former job in the ASL department. Some people believe she will resume her former Provost job (which I disagree since Faculty Senate already voted against her thus nullifying that possibility). It appears it is believed [...]

Gallaudet Board of Trustees Breaks Faith with the Univesity
The Gallaudet Protest: What you don't know The Gallaudet Board of Trustees has made possibly the greatest mistake in the history of the university's existence and wilfully so.

Memorable Quotes of the Protest
The GU Private Investigator The most memorable quote, or rather mostly widely repeated media quote, of the 1988 DPN protests was: “Deaf people can do anything...except hear.” What are the most memorable quotes from the “Unity for Gallaudet” protest of 2006? I’d say the runaway winner would be “Unity for Gallaudet!” just because of its sheer simplicity [...]
