[...] I’d also advise the BoT next time to pay more attention to the search criteria. Rob Voreck, aka Private Investigator, did a great job breaking down how Fernandes failed to meet the desirable elements outlined at the beginning of the entire search. The most critical point listed was Build community through open, responsive and visible communication that encourages reciprocal trust both internal and external to Gallaudet; Anyone with half a brain could see even before May 1 that Fernandes was a divisive candidate, that she didn’t have the support necessary for the job even before she was chosen, and that reciprocal trust was lacking. The fact that the BoT played ostrich and ignored all the warning signs the community, both at Gallaudet and outside, were sending is beyond me. – - – - – [...]

You brought up one of the clearest criteria and JKF’s failure to meet them. Because you critically evaluated and analyzed points, I am able to discuss this matter with other clueless people without doubt.

Thanks!

I have felt that all of those who have supported JKF & IKJ should face the consequences including the Galley campus cops. Or they should leave when once a new deaf president is hired without any further problems in the years to come.
Anyone second the motion?

Thanks for sharing this much needed insight.

It’s all listed for President Candidates, but the screening committee and BoT should have seen this in the beginning. Then noticed jkf failing more and more after she was choosen.

How come none of this is hitting the newspapers….. not even in the form of letters to the editors?

Amazing. How about rewriting a little, sticking your name on it and emailing me at bucknakedbison@aol.com (and yes, I know who you are)

Very good and valid points!

Now the Board of Trustees need to take REAL action to remove her and move on! Wait a moment! We need to have Jordan removed, too as well as the entire BoT…it is time to clean the slate and start over without Jordan and Fernandes in the picture.

How much longer do we need for this nightmare to go on?

Good job!
