Deaf History
The number one controversy in Deaf Culture is this type of technology.
What is Deafness related to cultural behaviors?
What are: 1. Zinser's resignation and the selection of a deaf person as president;
2. the immediate resignation of Jane Bassett Spilman, chair of the Board of Trustees (who, it was alleged, announced the board's choice with the comment that "the deaf are not yet ready to function in the hearing world");
3. the reconstitution of the Board of Trustees with a 51% majority of deaf members (at the time, it was composed of 17 hearing members and 4 Deaf members);
4. there would be no reprisals against any students or staff members involved in the protest.
