NTID President Search Committee is formed.

G'day Everyone!

History has gotten under way at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) in Rochester, NY. RIT President Destler has announced the 16 member President Search Committee in an NTID News article.

But President Destler choose to say that Dr. Alan Hurwitz *RETIRED* at the end of 2009 rather than to say that Dr. Hurwitz left the NTID President's office to become the Gallaudet University President. That was their interesting spin on things.

Let's hope that all of these NTID President Search Committee will be honest, faithful, and willing to look at ALL CANDIDATES, not just specific ones, who are qualified for the job of the NTID President. It will be interesting to see how this process happens.

My hope is that the Gallaudet Board of Trustees are watching this unfold at NTID because we are taking notes. In 5 years, when the next GU PSAC happens maybe we'll learn right off NTID's way of doing things.

It is also my hope that NTID President Search Committee will take their responsibility seriously.
NTID's history is calling.
Are they ready?
Let's hope so.

Semper FI.

Not sure if you're aware of this but one can retire and continue work elsewhere. Retirement entitles one to receive benefits to fullest extents possible including emeritus status. No way would one shortchange in light of his dedicated service in name of integrity.
