 WASHINGTON (AP) - The board of trustees of the nation's premier school for the deaf voted Sunday to revoke the appointment of the incoming president, who had been the subject of weeks of protests that at times shut down the campus.
The vote at Gallaudet University came after a daylong closed-door meeting that followed protests by students and faculty members, the board said. Jane Fernandes, the former provost, had been selected in May to take office in January.
"Although undoubtedly there will be some members of the community who have differing views on the meaning of this decision, we believe that it is a necessity at this point," the board said in a written statement.
