In the Huffington Post piece he wrote:
President Hurwitz and the university administration should be commended for respecting their students' feelings and processes. Keep in mind as well that at no point has Gallaudet said it did not want Dr. McCaskill back; it just wants to respect the community's process.By making a very public announcement to the community and essentially to the nation about putting Dr. McCaskill on paid leave was tantamount to firing her. Though she wasn't fired and still on paid leave yet this is the essential equivalent of putting a scarlet letter on her forehead branded as a person who could no longer be trusted. This was a process that immediately destroyed her character and reputation in a negative way for signing a ballot initiative petition (referendum). She made no anti-gay remarks whatsoever. Signing the referendum is not the equivalent that she's "anti-gay" but rather she supports the right of people to vote on a ballot rather than leave it to a handful of people in the legislature. Yet people continue to look the other way. Her name dredged up and sought for a public flogging if she didn't comply by issuing an apology for participating in a democracy. Diversity isn't about meeting and attaining some ideological purity test. And that is exactly what Gallaudet is trying to do. Diversity is also about including support for those with minority, religious, or political sentiments. There is no wanting her back. How would they want her back? Her reputation, relationship, and character already distinctly tarnished or irreparably ruined. Gallaudet's action does not indicate that they want her back but would only do so if it turns out to be a cost effective exercise because it's cheaper to compensate her financially and allow her to keep her position and title than to go through an expensive, public relation nightmare lawsuit.
That was Gallaudet's mistake.

What if McCaskill is gay, she vote for that because she does not believe in gay marriage. Many gays have oppossed gay marriage. Plus, many gays support gay marriage. That is why Gallaudet made big mistake. Simple we should respect people's privacy instead of bullying them. MJ is very famous revenging against deaf people especially she bullied a lot on Mike Kemp. She bullied a lot of deaf people. Why she did not get fired by bullying deaf people? Simple, they are afraid of her because she is crazy! She did not respect Paddy Ladd and she kept inteffering him during his workshop at the Ely Center in what I never forgot. She does not respect deafhoods' human rights. That is enough!
Well, she is tenured which is probably why she can do that at school.
Exactly what she interfering Ladd for?
After I learned more about M.j. Beinvenu 's history bullying toward people at Gallaudet.
If all people (McCaskill, Beinvenu, Hurtwitz, Smith) sit down in a private meeting then this snafu will never happen all over the Internet.
They have to control themselves. They act like children at the University. Shame on them.
Barry Sewell once mentioned me that Gay people tend to act "over the top" I agreed him.
I read great article by
Josh Swiller on Huffington Post. I agreed with him .
Paddy Ladd gave workshop in the Ely Center. MJ was signing during he was giving his presentation. He got frustrated when MJ kept signing(ignoring his presentation as he flew all the way from England). Some students in the circle line did not like in what she did. That was really rude. My point is MJ only cares about herself to look good; to let others look bad. It is called narcissism. That is very dangerous in what she can harm ASL because she does not empower; just oppress deaf people based on her knowledge to use dangerous weapon. People with narcissism always contradict themselves. For example, MJ has been preached about human rights, but she violated McCaskill's human rights to hurt gay community; plus she bullied some students. She uses deaf pecking orders strongly that harms ASL.
That is true she is tenured. Hope she will love herself truly instead of false love toward herself. Narcissism is very difficult to learn to change. Gandhi said that you change yourself not others.
Who is Mike Kemp? I haven't heard this story.
