The interesting thing is, and this is my perspective as a Gally alumni. I think Gallaudet today is much more accommodating and inclusive environment for students who may not come from a traditional background. (i.e., Deaf family/Deaf school) This is because I attended Gally during the late 1980's, and believe you me, the general attitude then was bordering on 'xenophobic'.
Still, it is discouraging to see an 'unfriendly' climate at Gallaudet, when it truly needs to be more inclusive and accommodating. However, I remain optimistic that Gallaudet is already in its way in becoming a much more diverse and inclusive university, accommodating hundreds of students with a wide range of hearing abilities, socioeconomic backgrounds, sign language skills, etc.
