Earlier Tuesday, Gallaudet University President Alan Hurwitz sent a message to the campus community, to "indicate forcefully" that the school would like to work with McCaskill to enable her to return from administrative leave and continue as chief diversity officer.
He wrote, "While I expect that a resolution of this matter can be reached... this will require that she and the university community work together to respond to the concerns that have been raised."
During a press conference Tuesday, McCaskill described the university as one of intolerance that manages by intimidation and bullying among faculty staff and students. She asked to be reinstated.
At her afternoon press conference, McCaskill said the anonymous faculty members who reported her petition signature to President Hurwitz were M.J. Bienvenu and Kendra Smith.
In response, the two faculty members said in a statement, “At this time, we would prefer this matter be a discussion between the University and Dr. Angela McCaskill.”
Gordon says Hurwitz’s statement today is a 180 degree turn from last week.
“We certainly want to give him a chance and explore his sincerity in the statement that he made to the public. But at the same time we are cautious about his intentions because he had a chance to do this some time ago,” Gordon said.M.J. Bienvenu and Kendra Smith try hard to stay out of this mess. Sorry, but they are part of the whole problem here that caused the escalation and created the growing sinkhole that threatens to engulf Gallaudet University. It's totally disingenuous to say that the discussion ought to be be held between McCaskill and the University. Well, that "University" also includes the faculty members who were the ones who precipitated the whole thing and caused this whole affair to denigrate into a national attention.
From what it's worth based on President Hurwitz's words, "indicate forcefully," this is looking more likely by the minute that Gallaudet University will end up working with McCaskill and see that she returns after her administrative leave to continue as chief diversity officer. This won't happen unless McCaskill is compensated well for damages to her reputation and character before she thinks about returning to Gallaudet University as CDO. The favor is obviously in McCaskill's court. President Hurwitz knows this. So does Gallaudet University. But I think the damage is too far gone to continue on campus and she may end up suing or that Gallaudet University agrees behind closed doors on offering her a hefty compensation package instead.

MJ always talked about human rights. Really, she contradicts herself because simply she is narcissism(Sign Language word: ILY rubbing on a nose). If both MLK and Gandhi live today, they would say that MJ is oppressing people. If someone oppresses on you, you shall not oppress on anyone. It is same thing if you plan to protest, you must know if you must not oppress anyone. MJ has been abusive to human rights. Is she empowering ASL? No. Is she following being Deafhood? No. I know many gays do not support gay marriages. I know many gays do support gay marriages. I am not gay. Does MJ has human right to look into someone's vote? No, because it violates human rights!!!! I am strong D and now, I feel disgusted in what MJ has done to people from her anger with her father. That is very unfair to us. I hope when MJ violates your human rights, you speak up toward her! She must stop! Do not be passive!
The petition for Angela McCaskill to be reinstated is now over 52,000 signatures.
Here is the link....

Dr. MJ Beinvenu and Kendra Smith try hard to stay out of this mess.....sorry to say that it's too late. MJ Beinvenu has a PhD and knows how to read the political language in the petition but did not do the homework. She knows better than that. So does Dr. Alan Hurwitz.
Once Angela McCaskill gets the compensation from Gallaudet, why don't she take her family to Seychelle Islands for a vacation? ;-) She needs to resuscitate and some time for herself for a while.
MJ Beinvenu and her partner are facing some tough times to adjust to go back to normal but I doubt it. They cannot escape from all the troubles. Their reputation are now tarnished and damaged. They pays a hefty price because everybody knows who they are. They will never become the leaders, never will.....
Every time I read one of your blog posts.
I thank the Great Architect of the Universe.
I thank it for the fact that your views (of which you lamely try to obfuscate with red herrings, strawmen, and outright refusal to answer point-blank questions) are ossified, mummified, and prehistoric.
You, McConnell, are a dinosaur. You can enjoy the last days of racism, homophobia, and all the privileges you enjoy. Because the times, they're changing. And we're pushing you off the stage.
People of my generation can't wait for people like you to die. So you can take your hate with you to the grave.
Then finally we can begin to build the world we want. A world without your hate.
ps. Go ahead and write a wall of text lamely refuting my points without actually saying anything. Its what you're best at, McConnell.
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
That sums you up well, methinks.
Anony @6:200 PM who bravely throws around ad hominems anonymously let me count the ways. Exactly what have I obfuscated using red herrings and strawmen, and not answering point-blank questions which is another question as to exactly what I have refused point blank the questions asked of me?
I'm ossified, mummifed, prehistoric and a dinosaur? So, discussing rapes, for example, is a dinosaur issue at Gallaudet University not worthy of discussion? I see. Exactly what I have blogged that makes me "ossified," "mummified," "prehistoric" and a "dinosaur"? People here want to know!
Charges of racism and homophobia are a sign of person incapable of making cogent arguments thinking ad homenims replaces them. They do not for your information. If you want to debate or discuss the finer points then please do so intelligently, clearly, and with interest.
"People of my generation"? Who would that be? People who depend on anonymity in order to level obscure charges that make no sense? Is that "your generation"?
"Begin to build the world we want"? Exactly what would that be? Is this a rendition attempt of copying the 70s time of peace and love? The hippies era? Not exactly sure what hate you're referring to which again is not making a cogent argument at all on your part.
Refute your points? Fresh and young, are you? Yet you never once provided any points to begin with. Exactly what are your "points"? I've nothing to refute if you have no cogent arguments to come up with.
That poem of yours is nice. So, exactly what is your point here? Maybe next time identify yourself and be brave about it if you want to leave a comment next time. No one likes a coward.
