Hi all,
When I contacted Ken Levinson to follow up on our meeting from 2 days ago, his response was that all concerns should be directed towards the president's office.
i was taken aback and tried to rephrase my question by submmitting our summary of the meeting to him before releasing it to the public. He said he did not want to review it and asked us to submit our comments directly to the president's office.
This was in a stark contrast to what we experienced on Tuesday when he was so willing to listen to our views. I couldn't help but feel that he spoke with IKJ after our meeting and was told to direct all the comments to the President's office.
Now, with that in mind, I THINK it is time for us to contact the
Congress. Congress is not going to care about who's right or wrong. They will CARE if BOT is going to be inacessible to the community.
It's our job to contact the congress now and explain to them that we cannot approach the BOT and express our views.

p.s. if we get some evidence that BOTs are redirecting us to IKJ then we can state that that BOTs have "surrendered" their position in this crisis AND that IKJ can no longer say that the BOTs are actively standing behind him. BOTs have made themselves absolute by doing this...

Just finished an interview with a ny times reporter and I made the point of mentioning that bot is not being accessible.

point well made! we NEED evidence. if we can prove that the BoT is inaccessible and uninvolved, and prove that MBI (management by intimidation) - which the BoT is supposed to be investigating - is a serious problem at gallaudet, our case will be much, much stronger.
