Not In My Front Yard! Exclaimed Jordan
For now, the name of the grassy area slipped Is that the name for that grassy area between College Hall and The President’s personal residence. My brain is still fried from the exciting day yesterday.
Earlier last week, a large tent was being constructed on this grassy field. Jordan was upset about it and ordered this large structure, still in the process of being completed, be bull-razed. The GUAA president, Andy Lange tried in vain to resolve this with Jordan.
He spoke briefly on this tent fiasco at the rally at Capitol yesterday morning. Jordan was visibly upset and told him the tent cannot be built in front of his front yard.
Not In His Front Yard?
Immediately after his presentation, I asked Andy if true biz Jordan said that. I wanted to ensure that I saw (not heard) correctly what he said. He replied affirmatively, Jordan did use these words.
When I went by the grassy field, there were no tent.
The grassy area is now his front yard. I thought that belongs to the whole Gallaudet University.

I understood IKJ’s feeling about the big tent which was very close to the president house. It would be a different story if the tent was set up somewhere else on the campus.
That would make sense if this has been a standard practice. However, Jordan had permitted tents in that grassy area many times. As a student and a staff instructor, I’ve attended the tents there many times.
However, last week the tent wasn’t permitted.
I wonder why
The president knew it was a anti-IKJ/JFK tent. Will the field fit the 4,000 people?? Come on.
I believe you are referring to Olmsted Green (the grassy field in front of House One and between the Faculty Row and Lincoln Circle with Ole Jim and GUKCC at the oppositing side from House One.
It definitely belongs to the University and not Jordan’s personal private space for him to stroll around in his bathrobes.
Greg, the field is pretty spacious.
Ah, you remember. That is Omstead field, Barinthus, thanks.
