Just as HMB was lost and it’s strategic advantage, so will your future opportunities to make a difference if you do not disperse immediately. Faculty will not be expelled, alumni will not be expelled, but many bright students your future deaf leaders will be damaged if they are not allowed to return to Gallaudet.
You must fight the system of oppression as you call it, from within the gates.
Let alumni and faculty supporters block the gates if you must.
Do not surrender, but retreat and live to fight another day.
Bill
I suspect to many students this protest is ABOUT their future and the future of the University. As such your warning might not make an impression.
Today is Friday… what’s the hurry to arrest? There is nothing on weekend… Shame on you, administrators.
You are a true hero to keep us posted… Tayler you are an absolute genius… keep it up…
Praying for you all! Fight for what you believe in!
Gallaudet belongs to them, the Deaf, even though they are the minority when compared to the rest of the deaf/hoh population. Gallaudet is their HOME. Let them protest even though what they are doing may not be acceptable to some. Just let them be.
Yes Tayler, as I told my friend the other day, is hot stuff.
Please be aware that going limp is legally considered resisting arrest!
Joseph,
Well said, but I stand by my advice.
Huh!!
Tonight is the perfect tactical and political time.. A weekend to clear the place out.. A weekend for folks (general public) to forget.
Yeah there’s almost nothing on the news about this can someone please start calling the media people need to be getting reporters there somehow
Bill..
Deaf community will never forget this day… Friday the 13th of October… never will…
When I heard that Tim Rarus is arrested… it is going to be a big news… a terrible irony.
Yet, a powerful statement!
Wait and see… never ever underestimate the Deaf Community
If that is the case. I will call.
A sad day in annals of Deaf history. I just pray that no one will be hurt.
Yanno, Alumni are gonna be PISSED..especially with the homecoming weekend coming! I’d not be surprised if they are going to add numbers to the protests! I was told that internim provost, Michael Moore looks SO heartbroken!!!
We love you protesters… Steadfast! Think and act with “love” during horrid peroid… Try to stay calm… We are behind you… Praying for you…
YEAHHHH!! about the time!
I AM GLAD JORDAN ORDERED ARRESTS. WE NEED GALLAUDET BACK AND CONTINUE WITH HIGHER EDUCATION!
TAKE BACK GALLAUDET, JORDAN!
yeah, i thought all the media trucks were by the *front* gate, on florida avenue. did the arrests happen at the 6th street side because it’s away from the reporters??
Please call.. please…. 23 arrests.. and if the news ever find out that one of the original four leaders of DPN (Rarus) was arrested… it will blow our minds… im very dismayed yet knowing that they sacrificed their lives for this for the deeper cause… it is a pivotal change of Deaf Community
I just can’t believe how egoistical King is being.. We 1988 DPN got him to the very position he is now and abusing his power. Come on JKF… nothing is being gained.. YOU CAN’T LEAD THIS UNIVERSITY AT ALL. NO CONFIDENCE IN YOU AND YOUR ARROGANT IS IN THE WAY. HOPE YOU CAN GET THROUGH THE DOOR WITH YOUR BIG FAT HEAD.
I am absolutely flabbergasted at how incredibly stupid the I. King Jordan Administration is !!
I have never seen anyone come across so many forks in the road and take the wrong path at each and every turn ! I THE KING has had so many chances to make things better and yet at every step of the way he has made things worse.
I THE KING — GET LOST !!
this could the catalyst that is needed to propel change. your efforts are not in vain. king and jane will pay dearly for this…
We will never forget “Black Friday the 13th”
NBC4 is covering the arrests on their local news, at least on their website.
Sigh… with Ice Queen at the helm (almost) it is not surprising that the arrests are happening. I, for one, know that had I been in her position, I could not have stood out this long..but then I ain’t the ice queen ppl thought i was.
Once upon a time, I had an exit interview (so I say) with IKJ. Too bad I didn’t do enough to convince him …sigh
N
this is really pissing me off. if only the adminstration would have listened, none of this would be happening. if only glenn anderson had been selected over jkf, none of this would be happening. UNITY FOR GALLAUDET
WE THE STUDENTS WILL NOT GIVE UP
UNITY FOR GALLAUDET
where are they taking them? IPS? what is that????
Amy,
I know that the Deaf Community will never forget and that this day will be the Deaf Equivilent of November the 5th and The Gunpowder Rebellion and Guy Fawkes!
Good luck to all on this unluckiest of days.
well said tom willard
I’ve been arrested multiple times on peaceful protests. It’s nothing to worry about as long as you are calm and peaceful.
However, I’m concerned that they are arresting them on Friday night in order to hold them all weekend. It’s a typical police trick to pretend that there is no-one available to process the arrests till Monday morning.
Every peaceful protester arrested tonight has my full support. There is no shame in being arrested for standing up for something you believe is right. You guys are making history.
Colleges all over the country don’t see students as consumers. They see them as people who represent money in their pockets to contribute to what ever agenda the university or college has. Fortunatley this is changing, but only in the top tier of colleges, they are providing better housing and better realistic meal options along with general facilities that rival many corporations facilities. However when it comes to lower tier colleges or colleges with leaders who feel the students have no other options of the caliber in which they are receiving at that college or university, the leaders b.s. the students and do nothing for the campus or the students. Look at the public universities around the country. They have had to sep up their facilities and listen to what students want because of competition from the private sector. However look at Fisher College the first school to expel students for what they wrote on facebook about a security officer, but did not address the problems the students as whole had with the security officer who is still employed there. The school until very recently did not care about the quality of its food or housing until the students started demanding this, and as the school didnt and to a point still refuses to see the students as consumers. The Gallaudet students are not seen as consumers because there is only one other college exclusively for the deaf in the U.S. These students however are paying money to go to Gallaudet and are consumers and need to be listened to as without their money Gallaudet would shut down
This has nothing to do with Jordan; these protesters have damaged the reputation of the university seriously beyond belief… The tactics and shame that the FSSA has used during the naming ceremonies last week, show no respect for anyone, you have taken the true DPN and make it into a mockery! Jane is an excellent leader and she WILL LEAD Gallaudet!!! Stop wasting tax payers’ money, Go Home and GET OVER IT!!!
all social changes/civil rights movements give birth to messy beginnings before a smoother sailing can materialize
The world is watching.. With the support of several universities I see this getting bigger! Keep donating money to gufssa to help legal defense fund!! I’m with you!
HOW ARE THESE STUDENTS DISRUPTING EDUCATION WHEN IT IS A FRIDAY NIGHT???
I thought the protestors were being riddiculous, but why not let them stay another 2 days and hope progress is made???
HYPOCRITE of IJK…beware…they’ll be back and make it STRONGER EVER! You, one sorry son of a b*tch!
I guess you (jordan) cant handle gally protest so you are loser! I am sure you know how tell her resign just say magic word hmm
GUAA,
PLS CONTINUE TO SPEAK UP! DON’T STOP NOW! WE CAN’T STOP NOW! WE MUST CONTINUE FIGHTING FOR OUR SOCIAL JUSTICE!!
According to the DC Police, the protesters are being processed at the Police Academy: 4665 blue plains dr sw
boy! we all are being kept referring to another websites for updated “live” news regarding arresting… doesn’t that tell you something? The WORLD is with F.S.S.A!
The money is perhaps a reason behind this scene to cover the expenses of the DC metro police for their wasted time in showing up yesterday and today. Flying hands to the bravest protestors who are sacrificing their names on the criminal record; in exchange of this, their names ought to be written and recognized on the historical book in one day. They are indeed our heroes!
Let’s do a simple math here….
$150*100 bodies =$15,000 goes to Metro DC police?!@*
This surely sounds like the death knell of the Jordan and Fernandes administration…
Why? IKJ is very wrong!!! He does not care about the protesters. Why IKJ wants them to get arrested??? Has he gone MAD? I don’t understand. He cares only about IKJ and JKF. Why he IGNOREs GUAA, SBG, GSA, FSSA, and NAD (all deaf community)? Now he threats the protesters!!! Oh my God! Don’t give up. Keep fighting and stay STRONGER!! I think it is time for someone should authorize to remove IKJ NOW!!
My daughter was one of the protesters that just got arrested. I am truly disappointed in IKJ leadership. This shows me where his heart is and it is not with the Deaf Community at Gallaudet and around the nation. I am proud of my daughter for standing up for this cause.
Hallelujah! I have never been so happy in my life. You guys just get out of my way and i am gonna finally get my education! you simply make deaf community look like bunch of monkeys that doesn’t make any sense. Ohhh boy how good does that feel for me! I am gonna sleep like a baby tonight.
Fernie and IKJ-you were given the chance to redeem yourself and your reputations. Guess what – theyve gone kaput! Never will we ever hold IKJ to highest regards and never will we ever see Ferny in any light of power. Shame on you both!! You are destroying what we hold dear to our hearts and thinking that your opinions and thoughts matter more than ours? To happy camper, I think I’ll sleep alright tonight knowing there are idiots out there like you who know nothing and what a pitiful life you lead. We wont be there to help when you need some after you’ve gone. What education for you if we are under such administration. Oh, it won’t matter – you’ll be just forgotten. To the arrestees, you are in my thoughts and we will be back!
Bill McDonald, stop carping your nonsense. You have zero credibility for switching back and forth. Jane Fernandes made a complete fool out of herself tonight.
Fifth rebel arrested is worthily? Is there fact that will be better leader as president for Gallaudet? No, there is an opinion! JKF is deaf lady; she wants help to better for Gallaudet. What you want to get more power over the world? There will be foolish to get power over the world; there is much other university is great like as TWICD, NTID and Community College. You couldn’t to show them that deafies is greater like as spirit of Gallaudet. That’s gods!
#16 – get lost !!!!!
You, the protestors, have all of my support and I am very proud of you. There is one thing I wanted you all NOT to give up and keep up until two demands are met.
I know all the way that IKJ, JKF and Paul Kelly are hiding something that they have been doing illegally ( MONEY ) for a long time. IKJ is very determined not to let JKF go so no one will find out what they have been doing. SO PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP and JKF MUST GO !!!!!!!
I love you all the protestors !
After reading above, I laughed so hard in knowing so many morons made a fool out of themselves. Is that how you all protest like that? Now read the next thought….
Welcome to reality, there is no free rides, It s as if you wasted time protesting instead of majoring a career to become part of Gallaudet. That s why you cant blame Gallaudet because they cant find enough educated deaf person to run the University. I’ve seen enough that deaf community there are bunch of pathetic people blaming the system. Nobody can beat the system and you will have to work harder like the rest of the world to get there instead of waiting for it to come to you. Of course bein raised from deaf family, fluent in ASL, fluent in speech language I can understand music and enjoy it. Without Gallaudet I have been successful in life without “assisted-help” b.s. I could see so much stupidity going on just to sit & scream like bunch of morons gettin thrown in jail. It was a good laugh watching the news. I choosed to go to normal university than being racist screaming “deaf power”. I wouldnt care who runs the university as long they do the job right. JUST LEARN TO GET ALONG! I ve seen a bozo criticize Dr. Jane K. Fernandes about how she signed but look at this person acting out of stupidity. What is it to be angry for? I m appalled to see that the purpose of “DEAF” is so divided, we re supposed to unite all together no matter how the person is but it will benefit having many types of communications available. Gallaudet is filled with bunch of morons. Once you leave Gallaudet, everything changes and nothing will be same so how will you live your life. I know there will be alot angry people flaring their temper after they read this message, let me say this for once. TOO BAD! =)
To my fellow brothers and sisters in our fight against audism-
Seriously- it’s time to demand Jordan to resign too. He is no longer… Qualified to hold the position of president of Gallaudet… Well, he never was in the first place.
I think that it’s time to ridicule Jordan. At this moment, Jordan is as bad as Fernandes, if not, worse.
If Jordan is going to order arrests… Then the protestors needs to respond to this. Non-violently, of course. They need to IMMEDIATELY charge Jordan himself personally for the things that he has ordered- the “earth juice”, the DPS assaults, and so forth. He needs to BE CHARGED with a CRIME!
So, someone, press charges against Jordan and Gallaudet! Come on.
I’m rooting for you guys, all the way! UNITY FOR GALLAUDET!
If this shit goes on, my wife and I will take a few sick days at work and be coming up ourselves from New York State to support you guys! Let more Deafies come in droves!
Chant “FUCK YOU Audists!”, “FUCK YOU, Audists!”, etc etc.
Let’s start that at Gallaudet? If this was made clear- that audism was a central theme to everything, it’ll explain the diversity of protestors’ complaints. It all boils down to audism. Let’s bring that to the front lines… So, that the public can UNDERSTAND… That if they are supporting the administration, they are also supporting and taking part in audism.
Say “NO to AUDISM!”
