AP Spins Another Story (i.e. lies)

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Gallaudet University alumnus and former professor was named interim president of the nation's premier school for the deaf, the university announced Sunday. The board of trustees selected Robert R. Davila, 74, to run the school for up to two years. The board rescinded the selection of former provost Jane K. Fernandes in October after protests from students and other members of the deaf community forced officials to shut down the university. Protesters had contended that minority candidates were not given enough consideration and that Fernandes lacked the leadership skills to guide Gallaudet.
No they didn't! Protesters said Fernandes wasn't "deaf enough" because she speaks and didn't learn to sign until she was 23 . And I thought someone named Fernandes WAS a minority. AP lies again!
