Form Letter for the BoT

October 2006

Dear (NAME OF PERSON ON BOARD OF TRUSTEES):

I, along with scores of others in the deaf community throughout the nation and the world, have been keeping close track of the protest at Gallaudet University in Washington DC. Gallaudet holds a very special place in our hearts; therefore it is an emotionally wrenching time for many of us.

Countless letters have been sent from people all over the world to Gallaudet. Petitions have been signed by the thousands. Formal letters from national organizations such as the National Association of the Deaf and the Gallaudet University Alumni Association were sent. Resolutions were drafted. Rallies have been held throughout the country and the world.

All have expressed their disappointment with you as a member of the Board of Trustees. There seems to be a lack of understanding of the deep resentment of the selection process leading to the appointment of Dr. Jane Fernandes for the most visible position within the deaf community. There is a lack of confidence from the community in Dr. Jane Fernandes’ ability to lead Gallaudet. She may seem qualified on paper, but she does not possess the qualifications of a leader and her conduct in the recent weeks and months have given more grounds for justification.

As mentioned numerous times in the past few months, supporters of the Unity for Gallaudet protest are asking for two things to happen:
1). Dr. Jane Fernandes must resign as the 9th president of Gallaudet University and the presidential search must be re-opened.

2). No reprisals be given to any faculty, staff, or student for being a part of this protest.

As you are aware, the university’s Faculty and Senate in addition to the Student Assembly of Gallaudet’s Student Body Government have taken official votes declaring its lack of confidence in Dr. Fernandes as the next president of Gallaudet.

In addition, the larger Gallaudet community and the Deaf people throughout the world have also declared a vote of "No Confidence" in Dr. Fernandes ability to lead. With these declarations, it is clear that the community does not agree with your decision as a member of the Board of Trustees. Dr. Fernandes is the wrong choice for the position of Gallaudet University's president. She is the wrong choice for the position because she would not be able to properly represent the community that Gallaudet stands for and serves.

To close, I plead of you, a member of the Board of Trustees at Gallaudet University. You have the power to restore our beloved Gallaudet. If you truly care about Gallaudet, you will respectfully meet the students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community’s two demands, thus allowing for healing to finally begin.

Sincerely,
(Your Name – include your graduating class if you are an alumni)
