An apparent failure to analyze the facts of the matter of the sit-in and make conclusions as part of a proper context of the totality of the circumstances is also evident, says Gallyprotest.org, in Holder's final report to the University, providing evidence toward establishing Holder's lack of fitness for the office of Attorney General of the United States.

Gallyprotest.org is hereby calling on the Middle States Commission on Higher Education to investigate signs that Gallaudet University has made no progress in complying with key components of MSCHE Standard 4, the Leadership and Governance standard. Clear signs exist indicating that the status quo policies of the former Jordan administration have not abated, but have become more deeply rooted, a state of affairs which poses serious long-term consequences for Gallaudet University and the entire academic community.

An online article published by the Chronicle of Higher Education on October 16, 2007 has been revised for its printed edition of October 26, 2007. However, the revisions made are unsatisfactory and should be reviewed for possible breaches of journalistic standards and should also be reviewed for possible retraction of said article. Both the original article and its revision contain errors which pose significant detrimental social consequences as they relate to the education of the deaf. (PRWeb Oct 23, 2007)
