Here are some quotes and the video from the news conference of Gallaudet University's diversity officer who is on administrative leave for signing a petition asking that that Maryland’s same-sex marriage law be put to a vote. Angela McCaskill spoke through an interpreter yesterday in Annapolis:
“The students are watching. The world is watching. I ask that the administration makes the right decision and rights their wrongs."
“I’m dismayed that Gallaudet University is still a university of intolerance, of management by intimidation, which allows bullying among faculty, staff and students."

"I view the president's email as a termination of my position. The content did not allow for any resolution. "
