They're Winning   [John J. Miller]

At Gallaudet, the protestors are winning:

Gallaudet University trustees have split in their support for incoming president Jane K. Fernandes, a shift from their united front endorsing her as the best person to lead the school for the deaf.

Last night, Fernandes said some members of the board of trustees have asked her to resign amid growing pressure from a coalition of students, faculty, alumni and staff who oppose her.

Of the 20 trustees, three of whom are members of Congress, perhaps as many as seven do not support Fernandes becoming president, according to three sources close to the board who spoke on condition of anonymity because board consultations are private.
