Earth vs. Eyeth

a) What is the primary argument of the students representing Deaf Culture?
That the new president had grown up without signing and they seem to think that because she use primarily "oralist" methods that she is not part of their community. That she betrayed the deaf community by learning to read lips and to talk, and they cannot allow a "traitor" to be their president.

b) Why would the Deaf Culture students value a President of Gallaudet who spends more time in Eyeth over Earth? Shouldn't a President of a college represent all students?
Because they believe that they are an oppressed minority and deserve a president who shares that belief and the idea that the University must be protected for themselves. Because they feel that hearing people have oppressed them for to long, and want their own place away from hearing people.

c) What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Deaf person spending too much time in either Eyeth or Earth?
The advantage of spending too much time in Eyeth would be the fact that they would be able to connect with people like themselves, but at the same time would be cut off from the rest of the world. The opposite is true if the spend to much time on Earth; they become disconnected from people like themselves but remain plugged into the world.

d) What is your opinion of the fight at Galludet? Should Jane K. Fernandes be President of Gallaudet?
I think she should be president. Whether she is "not deaf enough" is not relevant to me. If she is good president material, then she should be president.
