	Deaf President Now@Everything2.com
		In a meeting with representatives of the student body, Spilman supposedly said "deaf people are not able to function in a hearing world" though she has long denied making the statement.
		The third demand was that the percentage of deaf Board members be increased to at least 51%, and their last demand was that there be no reprisals against any of the protesters.
		Spilman rejected the demands and planned to go to the auditorium to announce her position, but deaf faculty member Harvey Goodstein beat her to it and convinced everyone there was no use in staying if their demands were not met.

	Kokonut Pundits - they're nothing like a coconut.: The Unspoken Side of Deaf President Now Protest
		Deaf protesters were never addressed on some of the crimes, nor were they charged or arrested as a result of their emotional passion and zeal to put Deaf culture on a pedestal for the world to take notice in the hope of putting up an culturally-Deaf president.
		Deaf DPN leaders never acknowledged publicly that some of the laws were broken and that crimes were committed in the process.
		This points out to the fact that there were deaf or hard of hearing “non-conformist.” They would surely get the short end of the stick with chidings, belittlements, harassments and even the possibility physical threats from Deaf people when such “non-conformist” actions do not jive with their Deaf culture’s ideals, expectations or norms.

	Monitor on Psychology - Not going quietly
		During his 18 years as president of the federally supported school for the deaf and hard of hearing in Washington, D.C., Jordan says he’s used his training as an experimental psychologist to guide his leadership style and help him make some tough decisions: He gathers the facts, listens to the different stakeholders, then acts.
		Part of what they treasure is its message of empowerment for the deaf, which is why they pushed for a deaf president in 1988.
		People told him point-blank that his deafness would hinder his leadership claiming, for example, that he wouldn’t be able to communicate effectively with the congressional leaders who oversee Gallaudet’s budget.

	Gallaudet battle hits core issues of deaf life in America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Gallaudet University, the nation's premier liberal arts school for the deaf, is embroiled in a dispute between an administration committed to incoming President Jane K. Fernandes and students and faculty members who defiantly believe she is the wrong person for the job.
		She and the hundreds of other deaf students attending a rally in the student union Wednesday night vowed to continue the sit-ins at the gates, despite criticism from several fronts and another round of arrests.
		All of which is surprising to some in the deaf community, because it was a student protest in 1988 -- the famed "Deaf President Now" demonstration -- that brought Dr. Jordan, Gallaudet's first deaf president, into office.

		Prior to Tim Rarus' now well-publicized arrival, he sent e-mails to King Jordan informing him of his concerns and of his impending arrival on the Gallaudet campus.

	Students at university for deaf protest over selection of president : General
		The students contend that she, born deaf, however, grew up "mainstreamed" -- she went to schools with hearing children -- and did not learn the sign language until in her 20s.
		The students were provoked by the board of trustees of the university deciding not to respond to the protests and they decided to take over one of the main school buildings and lock it down until the management became aware of the issues and got them addressed.
		I think Jane K. Fernandez are not good president, because she dont know about DEAF CULTURE,ASL,ETC. I want to have DEAF president because, I want go to Gallaudet University in the future, i dont want awful school.

	Breakthrough
		Because she went to a public school during the 1950s when the needs of people who were deaf often were ignored, she sat in her chair at school either staring at the board or crying as children taunted her.
		After college she worked with the disabled community, including those who were deaf, helping them to live and work independently.
		She believes that if someone is deaf, he or she will be happiest at an all deaf school, where the students mature naturally as they struggle with growing-up issues without having to also contend with teachers who don't speak their comfortable language.

		She has said that some people do not consider her "deaf enough" to be president because she didn't learn to use American Sign Language until she was in her 20s and relied on lip-reading through much of her education.
		Jordan, who was installed as the school's first deaf president after the 1988 protests, remained steadfast in his support for Fernandes on Sunday.
