The takeover of an academic building at Gallaudet University is about to enter its sixth day.

Students say they are waiting for the administration to respond to a list of almost two dozen demands ...

Topping the student list of demands is an call for incoming President Jane Fernandez to step down. But there is deep-seated discontent on the Northeast campus.

Many other demands are fueling the trouble, everything from asking university to do a better job dealing with racism, to the lack faculty diversity to a belief that American sign language should be the university's official form of communication.
