Hey Todd!
Amen! I agree with every point that you made.
As a Gallaudet Alumni, I am getting tired of watching the bickerings over Gallaudet vs NTID and they are going nowhere.
The most important thing is HIGHER EDUCATION that you seek to obtain and that is what the universities and technical colleges are about!
Some students and friends came to talk to me about which one -Gallaudet University or NTID - they should attend. I even advised some of them to go to NTID/RIT because they wanted to major in technical areas.
FYI: Yes, Gallaudet University has had Computer Science program for some years. Many of my friends graduated from Gallaudet University in Bachelor of Science in Computer Sciences and they have held well-paying jobs at IRS, NASA, other federal/state departments and private companies. In addition, they have had a gay/lesbian students organization.
Todd, I think I know you well in person eh.
