Text of the page (random words):
t interview mentioned that gallaudet as an institution needed to establish more and better contacts with other higher educational professional organizations that s what dr davila is referring to when he mentioned this saying that they were concerned about gallaudet s long history of isolation from the american higher education community the statement is unrelated and has nothing to do with the utterly false claims of cultural bigots who attempt to disparage the cultural status of gallaudetians and deaf americans the memo can be seen as being a wonderful first birthday present for fssa the faculty staff student alumni coalition which was created on may 2 2006 and whose members did so much to bring about the conditions which are allowing all these wonderful changes and improvements to be made what was once a sinking rowboat in 1856 that was rescued by amos kendall and then in an amazingly short span of 1857 to 1864 was transformed by edward and sophia gallaudet into a bona fide sailing vessel of higher education will soon be sailing by for review again with all hands on deck glistening under the bright yellow sun of enlightenment engines running at full power with civilians on shore marveling at the sight of the mighty ship passing before them memo office of the president college hall 800 florida ave ne washington dc 20002 3695 may 2 2007 dear alumni a visiting team from the middle state commission on higher education msche came to gallaudet yesterday and today to discuss our supplemental information report submitted to the commission on april 3 the report responded to concerns of the msche regarding the university s re accreditation including effectiveness of shared governance a climate that fosters respect among all people mission review implementation of a comprehensive institutional strategic plan development of a comprehensive enrollment management plan and academic rigor while on campus the team met with me representatives of the board of trustees the university faculty senate the president s management team academic affairs unit administrators the committee on bilingualism and the six working teams of my president s agenda for a better gallaudet university the team also held open meetings for students faculty and staff to share input and ask questions i sincerely thank everyone who devoted their time and effort to this visit by the msche i was especially impressed with the dialogue between our students and the members of the team your commitment during this challenging time was recognized by the team during its exit report to the community during the exit report the msche team commended us for the preparation of the supplemental information report and progress we have made toward addressing the concerns raised by msche since its last visit in january it was noted that from this report and from their meetings with various campus constituencies that gallaudet is moving in the right direction and that many people spoke highly of an improving climate with much better communication the team also mentioned that a great deal of healing has taken place and commented that this could not have happened without much hard work however the team expressed its concern over what it sees as gallaudet s long history of isolation from the american higher education community it was also disappointed in what it called a lack of documented evidence of accountability particularly in a time when the federal government has increasingly high expectations for institutions of higher learning the team added that gallaudet has not produced compelling evidence that the university is in full compliance with commission standards but at the same time it said that this is understandable recognizing that the past six months have been a tumultuous time for the university the team mentioned something that struck me in a profound way it said that gallaudet is on a long and difficult journey and it is this comment that i want to emphasize to you we can take advantage of this journey by working together to make gallaudet emerge stronger and more vibrant than ever the strength of gallaudet university is based on a foundation that is almost 150 years old solidified by the unity of the deaf community it is a treasure a center of learning research culture and empowerment that unfortunately many deaf people around the world can only dream of attending now as always gallaudet is defined by the strength and determination of its people this is a fact that the msche team recognizes pointing to the considerable talents of the gallaudet community the team said it feels that the university is capable of demonstrating full compliance with the middle states standards as an alumnus who used a gallaudet education to attain opportunities i emphatically agree my expectations for my alma mater are very high and i m sure yours are as well we are now facing a timeline that is very tight and which will require engagement from all areas of the campus the msche team is proposing a two year timeline beginning on the calendar date that non compliance was determined in our case the two year timeline started in november 2006 following the campus closing during the protest we must sustain the high degree of volunteerism and involvement that now characterizes campus life for faculty staff teachers and students i urge everyone to join me on this journey and help gallaudet meet this challenge bob davila click here to read previous posts of the gallaudet protest legal issues blog posted by gallaudet protest legal

2007 0 comments sunday april 22 2007 wash post graph proves ikj jk and pk failed the following graph which was published in the washington post proves that former gallaudet president irving k jordan former provost jane k fernandes and vice president paul kelly totally failed in their administration of the university the graph shows that the enrollment of gallaudet in 1994 was 1 602 students fernandes was hired as vice president of pre college programs later re named the clerc center exactly at this time in august before the beginning of the 1995 96 academic school year the graph shows how enrollment at gallaudet plummeted downwards from 1 602 to 1 206 in the time period that coincided with fernandes presence on campus all throughout his 18 years as president jordan was ignoring the institutional health of the residential schools which have traditionally acted as feeder schools for gallaudet the deaf president now campaign in 1988 was a result of the deaf renaissance occurring as the result of william stokoe convincing the world of academia that asl was a bona fide language deaf people all over the country affirmed their strong connection to deaf culture and the validity of deaf culture and asl became universally recognized jordan saw that the whole country including the academic world granted recognition to asl and deaf culture so he had no choice and had to at least pay lip service in fake support actually however jordan began acting passive aggressively against both the concept of deaf culture and the concept of asl as a birthright of deaf children finally by the time jordan published his anti deaf culture and anti asl propaganda piece in the washington post in january 2007 he revealed his true self he attempted to use the term absolutist in a distorted and devious way as a loaded term to create a false political frame that would destroy the entire deaf culture movement and put the future success of gallaudet university in jeopardy irving king jordan is no friend of gallaudet he spent the entire 18 years of his administration attempting to steer gallaudet away from its historic mission of serving asl deaf students he spent the entire 18 years of his administration in a state of passive aggressive opposition to the existence of the residential schools for the deaf if he had succeeded in placing fernandes as his successor fernandes would have continued jordan s plan to reverse gallaudet s historic mission she herself revealed her intentions openly when she declared that she wanted to create a new order of deaf people which is just the same kind of loaded language and false political framing that jordan used fernandes term new order implies that deaf culture is invalid and undesirable this is completely false the truth is that deaf culture itself has been the social mechanism over the last two hundred plus years whereby deaf people have joined together in productive and creative efforts to enhance their lives this includes fostering and encouraging the use of asl the desirability and the validity of asl represents the collective wisdom of generations of deaf people it is the social means that allows deaf people to unite and fight for self determination and positive change academics is the core of deaf culture and it is dishonest in the extreme for jordan and fernandes attempt to make a false separation between the two there is no such thing as focusing on education instead of deaf culture that s impossible for deaf people who use asl the two cannot be separated when we focus on deaf culture at gallaudet we are focusing on education too when we focus on education at gallaudet we are focusing on deaf culture the two concepts are joined together posted by gallaudet protest legal issues sunday april 22 2007 5 comments monday april 16 2007 interview shows jordan is in deep denial disgraced former gallaudet president irving jordan showed himself to be in deep deep denial in an interview conducted last thursday which was published sunday on the official 150 years on kendall green conference blogsite the interview of irving jordan shows a man who is in deep deep denial jordan is continuing to speak as if his presidency at gallaudet was a success when in actuality the msa letter of january 13 2007 proves that jordan s presidency was a total failure revealing that jordan had misled the msa and had also failed to do the proper things to maintain gallaudet s good accreditation standing in actions going back years jordan also deliberately attempts to distort the clear meaning of the msa letter when he talks about an engineering school med school vet school saying that gallaudet cannot be all things to all people by creating those schools as part of the university in actuality jordan is attempting to divert our attention from msa s crystal clear message that his and fernandes type of inclusive university plan was very wrong for gallaudet jordan and fernandes inclusive university plan was wrong because gallaudet has always had the historic mission of serving asl deaf students this is what made gallaudet successful and is gallaudet s niche every successful agency needs to find its proper niche otherwise the agency would become mediocre if it tried to spread itself too thin or if it attempted to accomplish goals that clash with one another gallaudet cannot be a place where professors lecture simultaneously in asl and english because that s impossible it has to be one or the other gallaudet is the place for asl students all other types of deaf people have always been welcome to attend as long as they learn asl gallaudet has always been inclusive in that way in its admissions policy but not in jordan and fernandes way jordan and fernandes way would have destroyed

15 2007 reasons why deaf people are not disabled this speech given by harlan lane in 1998 raises some extremely serious issues including whether or not the us government is violating international law by funding a eugenics program to eliminate the minority culture of the deaf and other serious issues such as how deaf people are forced to accept the label of being disabled in order to receive equal treatment by the government in regard to education and other matters lane argues that the concept of disability...
