Student protesters at the nation’s premier school for the deaf are proclaiming victory after the board of trustees voted to terminate the appointment of the incoming school president. Gallaudet University had been the scene of several student and faculty protests over the hiring of Jane Fernandes to head the school. In recent weeks, student protesters had taken over school buildings and staged a three-day blockade of the campus. More than 130 students were arrested in the protests.
