Hurwitz released his own statement acknowledging an apparent continued confusion about why someone in McCaskill’s position would sign a petition to put something up for voter consideration. He also doubled down on his “prudent” decision to suspend McCaskill.Remember what I said just recently yesterday regarding financial concerns over this mess of a sinkhole looking to get bigger? And this could turn out to be bigger than DPN1 and DPN2 if things do not get a hold of quickly. Gallaudet University has now the national spotlight. What moves will be made now?
Hurwitz even said he thought the crisis would help the Gallaudet community “emerge stronger because of this situation.” Stronger, as in making political intolerance an unmistakable and unshakable value on the campus?
In 2011, Gallaudet University received the overwhelming bulk of its revenue — over $124 million, or almost 75 percent — from government grants. The President of the United States signs the diplomas of its graduates — a very unique perk compared to peer schools. But officials also must report annually to the Secretary of Education.
If Angela McCaskill is not reinstated, there are at least two branches of the federal government that need to begin some serious investigations into this threat to democracy. The school’s existence is reliant on the money that comes from American taxpayers, and the spigot ought to be shut off until it can be confirmed that the school is no longer openly hostile to the democratic process in favor of extremist demands about diversity.

Threat to close down Gallaudet University over McCaskill/Gally mess?
Well, that didn't take long. Now there are calls on contacting Congressional members to begin a serious investigation into this mess.

Word is, now at Gallaudet, there was or is going to be a townhall today to address this. Apparently the whole campus is divided over this. It would be very interesting to see what will happen next.
Congressional investigation into this whole mess is a must.
Hummm....
That's something many students, faculty and staff even Dr Alan Hurwitz don't understand how the Federal Gov't owns Gallaudet 75% of our taxes that works and apply to our policy. The Federal Gov't have the right to know what the situation occurred. We pay the taxes.
I am sure that MJ Beinenvu and Kendra Smith are scared for themselves and the chaos because the Federal Government will dig the information how they found out about Angela's name in the referendum petition, trace, will read the correspondences by through the emails/letters by Alan Hurwitz/MJ Beinenvu/Kendra Smith. I am pretty sure that Dr. Hurwitz will sweat and interview with the agents from Fed Gov't. I don't feel sorry for them for what they did to Angela McCaskill for apparent reason.
I strongly expect Dr. Hurwitz will issue an full apology to Angela and her family.
MJ and Kendra will have to courtesy, bow and say to Angela, "Your Majesty" or "Your Royal Highness." LOL.

More than 75% paid for by taxes most likely when you figure tuition that was paid for by VocRehab and financial aid.
Deaf being what they are will preserve their community and face off whatever. It is an interesting poser, which 'minority' is going to win this argument ? If it is deaf versus gay, at gallaudet the gay will lose. They should be at their own campaigning areas not hijacking others.
