Congratulations To BoT
Mishka Zena To the Board of Trustees: I know that this was a very difficult decision for a Board of Trustees.  It is always very difficult to reverse a decision.  I can only imagine the arguments that took place on both sides. I do not believe that the decision was unanimous, regardless of what anyone ever says. I do believe [...]

Reactions Upon Hearing Resignation
Mishka Zena At the field house, I was being interviewed by Jared Evans and I introduced a HUG contact, Jennie Coyne who played a significant role in covering the Black Friday. Her interview was done so I began mine, when Jennie came back to us, telling me excitedly we got an announcement from the BoT.  We, Jared, Jennie, Dave my husband, and [...]

Tent City: Aftermath and Possible Solutions
Mr. Sandman Tonight, there are celebrations all over Deaf America; the protesters succeeded in forcing the BoT's hand. Yet, just as with DPN, there are larger, overarching problems and issues that remain, that will have to be dealt with. Now is the time for all of us, whether we are leaders on the ground, leaders of long-standing repute, or bloggers with any shred of influence, [...]

The protest climaxed... now for the denouement
Random Thoughts and Musings WOW!!! This has been an incredible day. I didn't expect Pandora, my pager, to survive the barrage of e-mails trading information, reactions, and the like from all over the nation, but she managed. She's now taking a breather.I had decided to declare a moratorium on protest-related news and messages for most of the weekend. I spent yesterday curled up in bed with my [...]

Its Happened....
Deaf Firefighter's Blog I had dinner cooking (penne alla vodka .. mamma mia!) when my pager buzzed with the news.The Board voted to terminate Dr. Fernandes as President-Designate. From my reaction, you would've thought I was on campus jumping around too but my kids looked at me like I'd been sniffing magic markers all day. Yes, I jumped up and down and said to my wife, "Its happened".Don't [...]

Reprisals: An Argument in Favor of Community Service
BiblioMarket I just read this at People of the Eye: “The BOT has just announced that students won?t get PNG but they will do community service. However, nothing has been said about any possible consequences for staff and faculty.” Before this was announced, I was discussing with a good friend of mine tonight what possible reprisals the [...]

On examining ourselves as a society
Musings on communication Rainmond in his blog said: When Jane Fernandes started her "not Deaf enough," business, she dehumanized us. How? Think about it. How many people became terrified of even saying they wanted a culturally Deaf person to be President? This is a valuable topic for the sociology department to research. Have we become so hung up on classical Deaf values that we are losing [...]

Deaf in the City 378: Don't Relax YetJane Fernandes has been fired by the Board of Trustees. But it's not over yet.A big part of the fight is over. Jane Fernandes has been asked to resign and Gallaudet has been spared an incompetent President. However, we have not won the war YET. We have just identified the current face of the problem and removed it. Our next step is to use our [...]

Musings on communication The partying will end and it is back to business as normal while the Board of Trustees get to the business of repairing Gallaudet. For the rest of us, we have a lot of self-examination to do. What does it mean to authority and governance now that constituents have successfully proven that they can influence a board of trustees to reverse its decisions? Have we [...]

Jane OUT! But It Ain't Over...
Deaf Tea Time Yes, everyone all over is celebrating our hard-won battle in forcing Jane out. Notice I used the word, "battle"? The second demand hasn't been met. The BoT expressively and specifically stated that the students did commit and violate the university's Code of Conduct thus it is at ikj's discretion to follow through - or not. As of now, it is understood that those [...]

Gallaudet Board Rescinds Fernandes?s Appointment
BiblioMarket I find it interesting to note that I K Jordan said the board acted as it did to “resolve the current stalemate . . . Now we must all put down our weapons of words and seek to restore a sense of community.” So, does this mean that Jordan is now admitting that his administration DID [...]

Quick Tidbits from Gallaudet
RidorLIVE Am at a friend’s house to pick up my sweater because it is friggin’ cold outside. Everyone is celebrating in their own way — at Benson Hall Circle, Hotchkiss Field (probably because of better lights), SAC and the Front Gate. The crowds are growing since the staff members are emerging out of their holes to [...]
