Jane Fernandes is NOT GOOD ENOUGH, because she lacks the necessary skills to lead a university in the 21st century. She proved herself incapable to improve academics during the last 6 years. The government's PART repost may have devastating consequences as early as next year for the school. That is why protestors wanted a BETTER PRESIDENT NOW! You misconstrue the whole protest movement.

I said this in a previous blog... Sam Supalla did apply and he was not interviewed. Regina... I responded to your question in a previous blog. Dr. Supalla does have experience in both higher education and public school administrative positions. Adam, yes… I said this in a previous blog… Sam Supalla did apply and he was not interviewed.

"Entire" - a poor word choice, I agree. But this took place 13 years ago, and my impression of the event was definitely different from yours. I guess that's why the police always say that 30 witnesses give 30 different accounts. Hm. “Entire” - a poor word choice, I agree.

It was a small group of students that got carried away. I was there. I saw the whole thing. I saw about 30 students standing in the middle, cheering and about 200 or so standing further away. I was among them. I thought the protesters were nuts. They had something wrong, and they had to own up to it. Please don't misrepresent the way things were then. The whole of MSSD did NOT support that protest. Julie,

But I put these questions out, how much has the attitude changed with the BoT since 1988 regardless of who has been chosen president? Isn't the real arguement with BoT, their assumptions and shutting students out of their meetings until now?

As a classroom teacher who wirks with 13- and 14-year-olds, yup, they really respond much better when they believe you see them as individual human beings capable of thought and reason.

Many child sexual abusers start as teenagers after being themselves abused, so older deaf children are also a major threat to younger deaf children. I've heard enough stories from various sources. That's the problem with sexual abuse. There's not enough education and outreach for parents. How many hearing parents get specific information on how to ask their kids about sex in sign? It's hard enough to TALK about that without a language barrier. We need a website that can be accessed anywhere on this subject for all parents to learn about how to identify signs of abuse in their children. My top advice. based on what I've heard-- if a kid says somebody at school is "bad", ALWAYS find out why. A parent from Sioux falls told me freely they were fighting to change the whole ND deaf school because of rampant sex abuse. They had to sue to get control over their children's education and safety. That's when happens when you have concerned parents who can communicate with their children-- the secret is out. If Fernandes got rid of any or all of those abusive MSSD faculty, she did a good deed even though she may be hated forever for it by some. Speaking of 1984-1990, I believe it, and I'm really glad I refused point-blank to go to MSSD. Not always deaf ADULTS.
