Form Letter

October 2006

Dear Dr. Fernandes,

Since your appointment as President Designate of Gallaudet University, I, along with scores of others in the deaf community throughout the nation and the world, have been keeping close track of the events from afar. Gallaudet holds a very special place in our hearts; therefore it is an emotionally wrenching time for many of us.

You must know that the reason for the upheaval, not only at Gallaudet but the deaf community throughout the nation and the world, is your refusal to step down as the President Designate.

You must realize that your continued refusal to step down from your position is what is fueling the situation and deepening the divide at Gallaudet, thus disrupting the education of Gallaudet students, the work of Gallaudet faculty and staff, and the reputation of the deaf community.

Countless letters have been sent from people all over the world. 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 world.

All have expressed their disappointment at the Board of Trustees’ and your lack of understanding of the deep resentment of the selection process leading to your appointment for the most visible position within the deaf community, and their lack of confidence in you to lead Gallaudet..

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 you 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 your ability to lead. With these declarations, it is clear that you are the wrong choice for the position of Gallaudet University's president. You are the wrong choice for the position because you would not be able to properly represent the community that Gallaudet stands for and serves.

However, you can help restore our beloved Gallaudet in a different way. If you truly care about Gallaudet, you will respectfully abide by the students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community’s wishes and resign with grace and dignity, thus allowing for healing to finally begin.

Sincerely,
(your name)
