Thoughts and Links on FSSA movement;

I suggest everyone who's interested the FSSA movement to always check Elisa Abenchucha's blog. According to today's entry there are 5 Factulty Resolutions proposed that need to be addressed, and you can read in details at the above link. Plus no one can not read Ricky's blog, it's addictive! There is also the official website of FSSA

Here are additional Thoughts and Links 4 FSSA movement!

This is a good piece from the NY Times

You can buy "12 Days in May" products at Cafe Press/Deaf Weekly I may order one of the tees, but I already brought one of the original tees during the protest "Unity for Galladedet" from FSSA rep Ryan DiGiovanni, you can can contact him directly at tshirts@gallyfssa.org to order a tee or Tent City post cards. Please folks, continue to support FSSA efforts in anyway you can!

I loved the fact that MSD *MD School for the Deaf* where I used to work, set up a MSD students' blog about their support. I met the SBG president Zach Enis of MSD during my visits at Tent City, he's a nice kid, wants to go into Politics.

Here's one blogger who compared the FSSA movement to that of Harvard University under DeafDc.com

Here's an excerpt from Bobby Cox at deafdc.com;

No Confidence
Posted by Bobby Cox on Tue 9 May 2006

"Yesterday, 145 out of 220 Gallaudet faculty voted on five resolutions concerning Dr. Jane K. Fernandes’s selection. They essentially laid out the gauntlet for Jane Fernandes: the faculty do not support her selection as President and want the search process reopened.

(FAILED 96-49) Accept the BoT decision & work with Dr. Fernandes.
(PASSED 77-68) Ask Dr. Fernandes to renounce her appointment as President.
(PASSED 85-58) Reopen the search process.
(PASSED 93-47) Express no confidence in Jane Fernandes.
(PASSED 80-57) Express no confidence in the Board of Trustees decision to appoint Jane Fernandes. "

Wow if these numbers don't mean anything, what does??
