Too Little, Too Late.
It took the university eight days to make this announcement when it should have been done immediately on the same day the peaceful students got hurt. The university didn’t even ask them how they were doing, nor did it ever offered them any assistance. These students were ignored.
The media and the public were briefed that the students weren’t injured nor were pepper sprays used by DPS . The parents who entrusted the welfare of their children to the university received the same messages. These erroneous statements persisted for eight days.
Incidentally this press release was made after the Congress sent an inquiring letter to the university on its handling of this unfortunate incident. The credibility of the University have already been severely damaged . elizabeth

I tried to contact Cooglan asking what Holder knows about the Deaf. This and other e mails I have tried to Gallaudet people got bounced! Have they set it up to do so?
Holder may be a great guy, but great guys who know nothing about us have made horrible decisions about us in the past!
Henry Vlug, ‘66 and a lawyer
As I read the lawyer’s online vitae, alarm bells went off. Not only is there no data about working with deaf people, there is no experience dealing with police misconduct cases mentioned, no mention of torts in the papers listed, and worse: he made most of his career as a political appointee.
That suggests to me that he is more accustomed to working for a government agency than to working as a disinterested and independent investigator.
Please tell me that he will be working in tandem with a deaf professional unrelated to Gallaudet and the Government in Washington, DC.
