Though I appreciate that choice in leadership fundamentally includes the opinion of the population to be lead it seems to me that segregation or exclusion on issues of diversity “fit” devalues the differences of individuals and groups, it does not protect them.

It seems to me that the students and faculty of Gallaudet that feverishly and belligerently opposed the appointment of Jane Fernandez have some deep questions to answer for themselves. Is it right to exclude a person because of an ability? Is it right to devalue people because they want to include people whose abilities are different then those in power? Is it right for the group in power to presume their ways of doing and being are most right and others should not be included? I should think the answers to this questions and the true meaning of these protests might be painful to look at. But weather I hear spoken words or gestured words, both are signs, both are signs!

Hi. I am totally speechless after hearing about Gallaudet’s lockdown. I am sad to say this I am a Gallaudet alumni and I think Jane F is the best deaf candidate (to be the next President of Gallaudet). However, I think the students are being immature. They just need to grow up and listen.. If they do not like it, why not walk out and not to come back to the university.

I hope the matter will be solved!

I can’t say that I’m shocked but, now it’s going to be a very interesting month to say the least. It’ll be a dandy to see the Gally alumni reaction to this. Makes me wonder who will be the “Ducks” this time around?
