Comments
Press conference formally begins with Dr. Ingold speaking and signing. None of the questions asked are interpreted. She answers all questions vaguely and confirms all Board members are present except for two who were not able to make it. She later adds that Dr. Corson also is not able here She refuses to confirm or deny if the Board will select a deaf president and says that we will all find out when they conclude their business this afternoon. She describes a typical Board meeting and notes that this one is not a normal meeting. Video cuts to Mary Lou Novitsky, who is trying to film a segment after the press conference. She points out that Dr. Ingold was not able to provide any context to the content of the Board's discussions. Novitsky questions why a Board member couldn't speak for themselves.
