PRES. HURWITZ
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Washington, DC
GALLAUDET UNIVERSITY NAMES NEW PRESIDENT
Gallaudet University trustees appointed T. Alan Hurwitz, leader of a respected
rival institute, as president of the nation's premier college for the deaf and
hard of hearing Sunday, with none of the tumult surrounding the last presidential
search. Hurwitz, 67, will come to Gallaudet after a 39-year career at the National
Technical Institute for the Deaf, where he rose from instructor to president
of one of eight colleges within the Rochester Institute of Technology. His 5
1/2 -year term starts in January. / The

PROTESTS UNLIKELY FOR DEAF
UNIVERSITY'S NEW LEADER
Protests closed the campus three years ago when the nation's premier university
for deaf and hard of hearing students selected a new president. It was a marked
contrast with Sunday, when the school's selection of a new leader was met with
"deaf applause." Gallaudet University announced Sunday that T. Alan
Hurwitz would become the 10th president of the nearly 150-year-old school. "I
enthusiastically accept this appointment," he told faculty, students and
alumni during an acceptance speech — using sign language. "I look
forward to beginning my work with all of you." / Associated

DEAF STUDENT BODY WELCOMES
NEW COLLEGE PRESIDENT
Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. — the world's only liberal arts
college for the deaf and hard of hearing — has selected T. Alan Hurwitz
as its new president, the school announced Sunday. Hurwitz steps into the role
amid several challenges at the school, including a student body struggling to
make use of hearing implants, low literacy rates and a disconnect faced by graduates
between hearing and deaf societies. Alexander Abenchuchan, student editor of
Gallaudet's campus newspaper, and Harlan Lane, a professor of psychology and
linguistics at Northeastern University, discuss higher education challenges
within deaf communities. / NPR

INTERIM LEADER NAMED AT NTID
James J. DeCaro has been named interim president of the National Technical Institute
for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology, replacing T. Alan Hurwitz,
who was named president of Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. Sunday.
RIT President Bill Destler made the announcement Monday. DeCaro's appointment
starts Dec. 1 and lasts for one year while a national search is made to replace
Hurwitz. Hurwitz, who has worked at NTID for more than 40 years, will be staying
until January and can help DeCaro settle in. / Democrat
and Chronicle

QUESTIONS ARISE IN THE SELECTION OF HURWITZ
I couldn't believe in shock that Dr. Alan Hurwitz was selected for the President
of Gallaudet University! But now, I want to question why the Board of Trustees
of GU would hire ANOTHER administrator that has experience of NTID/RIT? It is
very questionable. Is there a connection between NTID/RIT and GU? Was a deal
made for some reason that Hurwitz was selected? / The

DEAF USERS SOUND OFF ON SIDEKICK OUTRAGE
When the T-Mobile Sidekick started having data problems two weeks ago, it was
a big pain for nearly all of the company's roughly 800,000 subscribers. But
it became particularly rough for the many deaf people who have been among the
Sidekick's most loyal fan base. The good news, for both deaf and hearing users,
is that Microsoft and T-Mobile appear to be making headway at restoring much
of the data that, at one time, appeared gone permanently. / CNET

DEAF MAN CLAIMS POLICE SEVERELY MISTREATED HIM

he spent nearly 24 hours naked. However, the police have another version of

AFTER 14 YEARS, FORMER GRANITEVILLE MAN'S LAWSUIT AGAINST HOSPITAL COMING
TO TRIAL
It's been 14 years since a former Graniteville resident's family filed a lawsuit
against Staten Island University Hospital for failing for almost two weeks to
get a sign-language interpreter for Robert A. Loeffler, a deaf patient undergoing
heart surgery. And, nine years after Loeffler's death, the $10 million suit
still remains in limbo. Now, the case will finally move forward after a federal
appellate court recently restored it to the calendar for trial. No date has
been set. / Staten

LAWSUIT MAY NOT BELONG IN FEDERAL COURT
A dispute between the parents of hearing-impaired children and the operators
of the South Dakota School for the Deaf probably does not belong in federal
court, a judge said from the bench last Thursday. Five families filed a class-action
lawsuit in July against the Board of Regents, arguing a reduction of services
at the deaf school violates the state constitution and the children's educational
rights. The Sioux Falls school was down to six on-campus students at the start
of this school year after administrators moved the auditory-oral program to
a Brandon Valley school and put more money into statewide outreach services.
The plaintiffs said outreach is not meeting students' needs. / Argus

LOCAL MAN CHARGED IN SEXUAL BATTERY CASE
A mentally handicapped St. Augustine man was charged last week in a years-old
capital sexual battery case after his name came up in a federal child pornography
investigation, police said Friday. In 1997, the suspect, Justin Eugene Sage,
now 33, had been questioned about the case and allegedly admitted to sexually
assaulting a 5-year-old boy. But the prosecutor decided not to pursue charges
if Sage was "institutionalized," citing his mental handicap and "history
of sexual problems" in addition to his hearing disability and attention
deficit disorder, according to police reports. / The

DEAF GROUP TRYING TO GET QUEEN'S PARK TO LISTEN
Deaf children and those who are hard of hearing do not have equal access to
health care or learning support across Ontario, says a new coalition of more
than 150 parents, students and professionals who descended Monday on Queen’s
Park to push for province-wide standards in services. The coalition wants Ontario
to pay for deaf children to have cochlear implants in both ears, instead of
one, said James Borer, leader of the new Alliance for Children Who are Hard
of Hearing and Deaf. “Having just one implant is like giving a double
amputee just one prosthetic leg,” said Borer, whose two children have
cochlear implants in both ears. / Metro

IN SEARCH OF THAT WORD ON THE TIP OF YOUR TONGUE
On the tip of your tongue, that word you can't dig out. Why not? The tip of
your tongue may be the wrong place to look, psychologists suggest. They find
that hearing, sign-language speakers may hold the keys to finding where those
words are hiding. "You know the word, you just can't get it out,"
says Jennie Pyers of Wellesley (Mass.) College. "Well, it turns out sign-language
speakers have the same problem," she says. Only they are called "tip-of-the-finger"
glitches, rather than "tip-of the tongue" by psychologists. / USA
