My Reaction to Bob's Vlog about SLCC

This is my first blog after three vlogs because I am here at work without a camera. Anyway, here is my reaction to Bob's vlog about SLCC.

I am glad that Dr. Davila provided the topic of SLCC in his vlog. It is good to hear him stress that Gallaudet University is an ASL advocacy all the way unlike the previous president.

It is also good to hear that ASL/Deaf study department is expanding and HSLS, Hearing Speech and Language Science department does NOT endorse the medical-pathological view of deafness.

About the floor plan, it looks fishy that HSLS has MUCH more floor space than ASL/Deaf study. I think it is time for us to learn more about HSLS like how many staff/faculty in the department and what exactly they do. Do they communicate in ASL? Questions like that would help us make educated decisions than jump to conclusion.

What still bothers me is the postcard that emphasizes the part, "PRIMARY in speech and hearing". I would suggest for SLCC committee to rewrite to include ASL and send new postcards. Then maybe I will contribute some $$$.

Any comments, feedbacks or more information to add are more than welcome.
