Hmm... been a while that I updated my livejournal. Several things on my mind. It seemed that SAD has hit me worst this year than my past year. So much clouds these days. Its effecting my productivity, I seriously need to get up feeling fresh to do homework but again homework aren't that exciting. I did research on the internet for spectrum light therapy stuff. The dawn simulator tech are expensive. Anyway, grad school is some serious stuff. The challenge is to keep the grades 3.0 and above which means no grades below B is allowed. Its not that easy as an undergraduate because more readings and higher expectations from teachers. I have two jobs to get the cash flow into my bank but they are going out into tuitions and college expenses. Not very many scholarships are offer toward the grad students and RIT should set aside some money to support those students. I just thought about Sano, heh, I'm riding your boat. I'm surprised that my VR even put some money in my account when they were not suppose to. I'm saying nothing, heh. I have made my decision to extend my graduate program into two years instead of one because of how intense the courseworks and how serious I want to keep good grades rather than just hurry up sloppy and graduate. I wasn't happy to stay at RIT longer because then I'll have to spend more money and I have to deal with more homework. It seemed like forever! Eventually, it will be better because I'll be less stress with homework and working my jobs more to get extra income.
Oh then I thought about Gallaudet. Grr... How sloppy the administration has done to deal with this issue? From the first day they start protesting, I was rolling my eyes and wondering what are the students up to next. They keep chanting "JF resign" thousands of time which did not convince me to support them. I rather hear the fact why they protested and many students respond that she's not deaf enough. I don't discriminate the candidates based on physical or ethnic background. I was like "So, give her a chance." Its how they advertise to the public that confused some of the people at first. I was so mad and I thought the Gallaudet students are out of their mind. The protest kept growing day after day. They shut down the school for about 4 days which was not good. Where is King Jordan? He is still the acting President and he did nothing but order arrest on the students. He showed up in some protest to listen some rant but did nothing. Shame on him even though he has two months to retirement. I didn't care if Jane did not talk to the public for the summer because she hasn't officially taken her role as the President which will not start until January. I wasn't convinced about these protest until I researched onto the FSSA website. http://news.gufssa.com/category/fssa/ After reading the compliants of faculty and students with fact and polls, I eventually got the bigger picture. Jane F. has been cheating her way from tenure to provost and then the top position. She did not follow through the standard procedures of being appointed or elected. Its convincing enough that King Jordan has a role of favorism in this picture. That enraged me about how the two has been acting toward this protest. They seriously need to step down. Gallaudet Administration need to learn shared governance among its faculty, staff, students, and alumni. I wasn't pleased on how they ignored the student's cry and send out arrests. I wasn't pleased on how the administration let the protest go on for days. Its attracting too much attention and its embarassing for our deaf community.
So... When will the protest be over? Jane Fernandes... Stop being selfish and resign! If you love Gallaudet so much, follow the proper procedures. You already hurt your opportunity and reputation by being stubborn!
