BoT Violates Its Bylaws?

A tidbit you may not be aware of.According to many sources, Jordan apparently cultivates the BoT members who resonate with his views. There are few BoT members who have had their memberships extended, breaking its own bylaws.

Section 2.2.2  Voting Trustees — Non-Public Members.  The other eighteen Voting Trustees (”Non-Public Members”) shall be elected by the Board of Trustees. The Non-Public Members shall serve terms of three years, shall be eligible for re-election, and shall serve until their successors are elected and qualified; however; Non-Public Members first elected after January 1, 1987, shall not serve for more than twelve consecutive years, provided, however, that Non-Public Members first elected after January 1, 1987, but before October 30, 1995 shall be eligible for reelection for additional terms (or partial terms) ending before October 30, 2007.

Levinson and Graham are alleged to have stayed beyond 12 years. How many other BoTs were given the same privilege?

I’ve heard allegations that the BoT members who were more vocal and whose sentiments weren’t similar to Jordan’s were not re-elected.

If these allegations are true, this explains why Jordan repeatedly asserted that he represented BoT last May and a few months afterwards.

We need a BoT who has its finger on the pulse of Gallaudet University and is mindful of its responsibility for the welfare of an university over its friendship with the university president.
