"Vigilant Ally" for Deaf Culture Dominance at Gallaudet?

I'm not surprised. Perhaps the truth is coming out from those behind the scenes who are doing everything they can to try and get a Deaf president by re-starting a new selection process but are trying to get the current deaf president, Dr. Jane K. Fernandes, to step down first before that happens. From the mysterious "Vigilant Ally" in GallyNet-L who says that she/he will "stay anonymous until the time is right to reveal myself" :

The time is now for a Sunshine Provision to the Board. The time is now for the Board to internalize the values of listening, stewardship, shared governance, responsible action, and accountability. Then Gallaudet’s niche as both the Deaf Harvard and Deaf Mecca will be unified, fortified and admired. This is why the protest must result in new players in the administration and Board. Vigilant Ally.

What's next? Ensure that the next "Communication Policy" is all ASL only? More "Unity for Gallaudet" plans?
