Foreword
It was mid-morning on Wednesday, March 9, 1988. There were about fourteen of us gathered in my office. Something big was happening.
The previous Monday, Gallaudet University students had staged a lock-out on the campus and were refusing to allow entry until there was a deaf president at Gallaudet. I had asked Jack Gannon to put together a group of people, most of whom were from the Gallaudet faculty, staff, student body, and administration, to talk with me about the Board of Trustees' Sunday decision to appoint a hearing person to be the university's next president.
The mood in my office was simultaneously electric and sober. This was not a group of immature, sensation-seeking teenagers. They were clear-eyed students and professionals. The professionals in the group included a former dean, PhDs, teachers, and alumni, all deaf, who had devoted many years to Gallaudet. They had been instrumental in creating the educational excellence we have all come to expect from the world's only accredited liberal arts university for the deaf.
