Comments on: Shirley Shultz-Myers’s Response To The Leadership Issue http://www.deafdc.com/blog/chris-and-allison-kaftan/2006-05-10/shirley-shultz-myers-response-to-the-leadership-issue/ Tue, 06 Jan 2009 09:38:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Mr. Sandman’s Sandbox » Framing the Stalemate: Thoughts on Gallaudet http://www.deafdc.com/blog/chris-and-allison-kaftan/2006-05-10/shirley-shultz-myers-response-to-the-leadership-issue/#comment-34031 Mr. Sandman’s Sandbox » Framing the Stalemate: Thoughts on Gallaudet Thu, 09 Nov 2006 01:14:29 +0000 http://www.deafdc.com/blog/chris-and-allison-kaftan/2006-05-10/shirley-shultz-myers-response-to-the-leadership-issue/#comment-34031 [...] Fernandes gained tenure in the Department of ASL & Deaf Studies. Aside from her time at Northeastern University, I fail to understand how she qualified for tenure in that particular department. She has published quite a few academic articles and pieces on ASL and deafness, she was chair of the Department of Sign Communication for a scant six months, and she coordinated an interpreter training program. With the exception of her publications, I can think of quite a few others who qualify far more for a position in ASL & Deaf Studies than Fernandes. Some commenters have stated that there’s something fishy about the length of time before she was granted tenure, yet I recall the whispers about how quickly Ben Bahan was granted tenure in the very same department. Additionally, Dr. Shirley Shultz-Myers posted a letter to GallyNet-L, which was then reprinted on DeafDC– you can see it here– and in her letter, she states that there was nothing untoward about Fernandes’ being granted tenure. Although this is Dr. Shultz-Myer’s contention, there has been no other faculty member or individual stepping forth with concrete evidence to rebut Shultz-Myers. So for the time being, this example is, as they say, a nonstarter. Of more interest is the editing of a WaPo piece that Rob V. picks up on. I am curious myself as to what “procedural error” Mercy Coogan refers to. For more on that, take a break for a minute and head over here. I’m still waiting for a response to Rob’s e-mail, so that’s all I can say for the moment. [...] […] Fernandes gained tenure in the Department of ASL & Deaf Studies.

I still see (and hear) resentments carried to this day about it. Why? I want to hear your perspective. Also, no assumption on my part. I know there were other issues but really...that goal post thing? She did the right thing. Sounds more and more like a personality issue rather than a leadership issue.
