earth vs eyeth

a) What is the primary argument of the students representing Deaf Culture? the primary arguement from students is that the president of galudet university is not "deaf" enough ands lives in the world of the hearing.
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? the deaf culture students would value a presidnt who spends more time in Eyeth instead of Earth because they would believe that the president has more of an understanding in deaf culture.
c) What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Deaf person spending too much time in either Eyeth or Earth? one advantage of a deaf person spending too much time in Eyeth is that they fully understand Deaf culture. an advantage of a deaf person spending time in Earth is that the deaf person can they can understand how we interact. however, a disadvantage is that if a deaf person spends too much in either world, they lack the knowledge about the other.
d) What is your opinion of the fight at Galludet? Should Jane K. Fernandes be President of Gallaudet? i think that the protests over the new galludet president is pointless on behalf of the galludet students. to protest a new school president becuase he is not "deaf enough" is childish. a president of a school is suppose to represent and lead the school, he is not suppose to be chosen by the student body.
