I am disturbed by the way the current uprising has been handled, to the extent that students have been arrested for protesting. I am especially dismayed that you have apparently forgotten your history with the University and its student protesters from 1988 and the DPN movement.
GU is not simply an institution for the deaf; it is a combined force of deaf culture? past and future, the history and potential of ASL as its own language and the reality of the dreams of deaf people everywhere.
As the great, great, great granddaughter of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, elder brother to Edward, I am concerned with the divisive atmosphere the office of the President and the Board of Trustees has engendered with regard to ignoring student representatives and dismissing campus community concerns.
With as great a history as the University has from its inception and through the decades, how then can the students and faculty be treated with such disrespect?
Sincerely,
Elise Gallaudet DeClue
