Interesting discussion. R- Check your email about another sex assault (second since 2007) at the Maryland School for the Deaf. Reported in the Frederick News-Post reported.

Ridor, a question for you. Check out Joey Baer's vlog back in September, he pretty much said the same things as did Teri. Why is it that people are not angry at Joey whereas they're angry at Teri? From what I understand, if I understood it correctly, both was not concerned about how the "hearing world" sees us but rather they were more concerned about how do we attract hearing parents of deaf kids when they see all the in-fighting on DVTV, etc. That was my take.

[ridor9th]

Good point. I suspect it was the way Teri addressed the selected FB users to wage a battle upon each other in the first place.

In order to convince the hearing parents of deaf children, we must be honest with each other. Do you prefer for us to market and lie?

I object strongly to the deaf community's feeling that hearing people can't accept them the way they are. Hearing people must stop play games on Deaf population and deaf community need to stop feel sorry for themself and stated that hearing people is always right.

"We've got to stop fighting each other over issues designed to divide us and instead come together to accomplish the great things we can all agree on." Teri, I did not see her vlogs so Zip my mouth shut! At the end abt Barry, jackass!

At Gallaudet, professors are required to be evaluated by ASLPI every 7 years, I believe. And this one, Dr. Barry Bergen failed badly. Know what he did? He used his classes to urge the students to sign the petition to retain him. Many students were feeling awkward and guilty about it -- in fact, I was the only one in the classroom who refused to sign publicly.

These incompetent professors has to *stop* using the students during their classes to solicit their signatures!

The difference between Joey Bear's vlog and Terri Sentelle's FB vlogs is Joey never make any degraded remarks about any kind of Deaf people while Teri Sentelle made some degraded remarks about these Deaf people who can't write English and they may scare hearing parents away. We have to remember that there are more than a half millions hearing people who can't write and read. :o)

It is basically the students themselves -- who basically don't know any better. If they like the teacher, they give good ratings, even if they don't know they're not being taught all that well. Nikki should have seen one of the other teachers that was at the university when I started.... EEEK!

We do have "Coordinators" for the programs, but they really have very little power to formally evaluate, hire or fire instructors at the university. So we're basically stuck until they retire.

Nikki and Shel --

I know who Nikki's referring to. Unfortunately, these people were hired by the person who started up our ASL program around 15 - 20 years ago... a Hearing person who is not that great of a signer himself and is not a good judge of what good ASL models are. But I said unfortunately, because they have been at the university so long that they basically have "tenure". It becomes extremely difficult to get rid of them. And the worse thing is, who is

responsible for evaluation?
