President I. King Jordan Simply Blew It
Kalalau's Korner In 1988, Dr. I. King Jordan was inducted as the first Gallaudet University alumnus as president of Gallaudet University. It was a civil rights victory for many of us, the Deaf.Gallaudet University is a well known reference to the attitude of honest acceptance for which deafness is the raison d?etre. It is a place where we the Deaf accept and celebrate all Deaf people. [...]

Why is federal deaf college such a circus?
DeafBiz From the Department of Ouch Even with the unpopular quagmire Iraq war, American college campuses have been rather calm in recent years. With one glaring exception: Gallaudet University, the federally-funded, somewhat-federally-run deaf university in Washington. As of this week, confrontations between authorities and protesting students at Gallaudet have resulted in [...]

A Plea to JKF's Husband
Patty's Blog Hello Dr. James Fernandes,Until recently, I didn't realize you were JKF's husband (I have no idea how to call your wife's name so I will call her "JKF" from now on here).The current students at Gallaudet University have no idea what you're like as a person, since you retired long before they arrived on campus, so it's probably why there is very little information [...]

What is everyone afraid of?
Scallion Stallion Only fear, mixed with a complex brew of other emotions, could incite the kind of passion we?ve seen in the Gallaudet protest. So now I wonder: What is everyone so afraid of? At least to this observer, the answer is still muddy. Is it the loss of Gallaudet as a welcoming deaf university? The loss of a unified deaf community? Congressional support cut? Lower admissions [...]

THEY WON'T COME SO WE BRING PROTEST UP FRONT TO THEM!
Show Me Deaf Community It is a good idea! They will not come to our protest. So we are bringing our protest to them. The buses and cars are lined up and ready. They are heading off to the hotel where the Gallaudet University Board of Trustees are meeting tonight and tomorrow. It is good idea and a good tactic. They are doing it peacefully and make note of their [...]

?Many Ways to be Deaf?
Joey Baer Courtesy of DawnSignPress Panel discussion on “Many Ways to be Deaf” “Dr. Fernandes is making much of her concept of the new order of deaf people.

Mishkazena An Ex-Oralist
Mishka Zena Some of you don’t know who I am. I guess it is because  I am normally a private person.  I grew up 100% oral. When I first arrived at Gallaudet at the age of 17, I knew no sign except two: Gallaudet and College, taught to me by a local deaf person and the manual alphabet I [...]

BOT meets on SUNDAY (10/29/06)
GUAA News Many people have asked if the BOT is meeting today (saturday). The meeting is scheduled for tomorrow (10/29/06). At this time, location is unknown.  They are concerned about security.  If they feel that they cannot provide security, it would not suprise me if meeting is moved to another location, postponed or cancelled.

Mishka Zena As a current president of the university, Jordan has the right to participate in the BoT meetings, though he doesn’t have a voting power.
