Gallaudet to Search for New President

2008_1024_gallaudet.jpgAs we mentioned in today's morning roundup, it's been two years since the protests over the selection of Jane Fernandes as the president of Gallaudet University brought the country's premier higher learning institution for the deaf to a standstill. Well we missed this tidbit in the WaPo's District Extra this morning: the school yesterday announced it will begin a formal process to find a new president.

Robert Davila, who has served as interim president for the last two years, will not be involved in the selection process. The university's board has said the process will be "transparent and inclusive," incorporating town hall-style meetings with students, faculty and staff. Here's hoping making good on that promise will lead to a much smoother transition this time around.

Hmph. I wonder why the name for the Gallaudet student newspaper is the same as the colors for GWU.

Color me curious. I wonder which claimed Buff and Blue first.

Hey, someone had to comment on this article, or else it would seem that all we care about here is road rage.
