As the nation's only university catering to the needs of deaf students, Gallaudet has garnered a good bit of media attention. Its departing president, I. King Jordan, has been an outspoken advocate for deaf people's needs and rights, and a visible public face for the university. Gallaudet's football team, which experienced an undefeated (9-0) season in 2005, also captured headlines, as you might imagine.

Jordan's departure enabled the university's provost to assume the presidency. But as this Inside Higher Ed article notes, students are less than impressed. Do student voices matter, or will Gallaudet students' concerns remain, well, unheard?
