B.O.T. terminates Fernandes

Text of B.O.T. Email:
Today, we announce with much regret and pain that after serious
deliberation in a special, all-day Executive Session of the Board of
Trustees, we have voted to terminate Dr. Fernandes’ appointment
as President-Designate (currently effective) and President
(effective beginning January 1, 2007) at Gallaudet University.
We understand the impact of this decision and the important issues that
inherently arise when a Board re-examines decisions in the face of an
on-going protest. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of
the University to terminate Dr. Fernandes from the incoming President’s
position. Although undoubtedly there will be some members of the
community who have differing views on the meaning of this decision, we
believe that it is a necessity at this point. The Board is continuing to
meet to discuss transitional issues.
It has certainly been a difficult and trying time for our Gallaudet
community. Now is the time for healing. The hope of the Board of
Trustees is for our beloved community to come together to work for a
stronger and better Gallaudet.

Richard, I'm still ROTFLMMFAO!!!!!!
You're a trip dude, what with you and your "old deaf guard" conspiracy theories, heh. Surely you jest.
My message to the deaf
My message to the deaf students in elementary, junior high, and high school. You study hard, be wise, be independent, and think for what you feel and like. Do this and you'll succeed in a job that you like. If you dont, you could end up being a collective lifer at Gallaudet University which is no better than a dependency gulag.

Bwaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaaa
Small victory? Small victory?
ROTFLMMFAO!!!!!!

richard roehm, dr. jkf and dr. ilk, get lost! 258! lol!
Richard Roehm, YOU are the
Richard Roehm, YOU are the old deaf guard. You want to control the deaf community and reject them because they want ASL to be a part of the community whereas you want different things.
Leave them alone.
My words to the deaf leaders
My words to the deaf leaders who are saddened by the loss of Jane Fernandes as next president of Gallaudet University, is to go on with your good deeds, do your business in areas not readily accessible to the old deaf guards. The 98% of the deaf society is on our side. Time is on our side and the old deaf guards will be paying a big price for their small victory yesterday. We can capitalize on this by showing the world that old deaf guards are very inflexible and non-inclusive which is a major turnoff to most grantmakers. Save the newspapers and the Gallaudet university press releases on Jane's termination and use them in your highly competitive grant writing.
If youre competing with a deaf organization for funds, use the blogs to see if the competition supports the protest and use that info in your grantwriting as proof of the old deaf guard's inflexibility toward people who represent the future of deaf society. You will win easily.
The recent old deaf guard's victory at Gallaudet is our fundraising goldmine to use.
LETS USE IT!
