Good morning, Washington. We always thought it might be sort of fun to suggest something totally off the wall about President Bush, like that he might, oh, hate your children and want them to die sick and alone. Now that he’s gone ahead and confirmed it, it’s hard to know where to go from here. Is there anything worse than sick and dying children? How about, President Bush is in league with the devil? While…

Via Frozen Tropics, we find this story from Voice of the Hill about a recent change in policy at Gallaudet University, the nation’s premier college for the deaf and hard of hearing in Northeast D.C. According to the story, Gallaudet recently extended its student code of conduct rules to include student behavior off campus after neighborhood residents lodged complaints about rowdy late-night parties hosted by students from the school. The change in rules has reportedly…

We’ve joked about it before, but it really seems to be true: this town eats university presidents for lunch. Today comes word that the president of the University of the District of Columbia, William L. Pollard, resigned yesterday and will step down at the end of June after five years in at the public university. The Post reports that he was asked to leave by the university’s board of trustees when his contract ends at…

The new interim president of Gallaudet University, Dr. Robert R. Davila, was officially installed into office yesterday afternoon in an open ceremony at the school’s Field House. It’s unusual to have a formal ceremony to install an interim president, but we can all understand why the university chose to hold one. As you’ll recall, last year Gallaudet’s campus was taken over by student protestors upset with the appointment of Jane Fernandes as university president. While…

Nestled between cherry blossom season and the influx of D.C.’s summer intern and tourist season is a hopeful time, when students turn away from keggers and exams to graduate into the real world — at least in theory. For Washington’s thousands of college seniors, this means job hunting, leaving the friendly confines of campus and the prospect of moving into your parents’ basement. It also means a litany of platitudes, advice and well-wishes from commencement…

And another good morning to you, D.C. Looks like it’s going to be a fine, bright, sunny day in the city, with temperatures in the lower to mid 50s. But don’t let our cheery outlook force you into being in a good mood too, especially if you were one of the unfortunate souls stuck in the 24-mile backup on the Outer Loop of the Beltway last night. Seriously, haven’t we all already learned that slowing…

Post chats have never been good for university presidents. Just last year American University’s Ben Ladner was accused of cherry-picking questions to avoid anything below the level of fawning adoration, and yesterday embattled Gallaudet University president-select Jane K. Fernandes did her cause no justice by confirming what many of her detractors have claimed as her biggest flaws — that she’s divisive and insensitive. While saying she wanted there to be dialogue between her opponents and…

So you’re Jane Fernandes. In January you’re set to take control of Gallaudet University, the nation’s premiere institution of higher learning for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. But since your selection in May, it’s been nothing but headache after headache. Students protested the decision until summer break, but showed surprising resolve and kicked off the protests again this semester. So far they’ve taken over a building, blocked all entrances to the campus, taken 133 arrests in…
