The Deaf President Now (DPN) protest at Gallaudet University lasted for a week, from March 6 to March 13, 1988. The protest was led by Gallaudet students, faculty, staff, and alumni, demanding that a deaf president be appointed, rather than a hearing president. The protest ultimately resulted in the appointment of the university's first deaf president, I. King Jordan.

Can hearing students go to gallaudet university?
Yes. Although gallaudet-universityis billed as the "world's only liberal arts college for the deaf," a small number of hearing students are now admitted each year, as long as they are american-sign-language-proficient. Twenty-two years ago today, i-king-jordanbecame Gallaudet University's first deaf president. A week earlier, on March 6, 1988, a hearing person had been chosen for the position - the only hearing candidate among a list of qualified other deaf candidates - setting off a week-long student protest called deaf-president-now, which rocked the Deaf world. As a result, the newly selected president and the chairperson of the Board of Trustees stepped down; an agreement was reached that 51% of the Board would from then on be made up of deaf people; and no reprisals were taken against any student or employee involved in the protest. Since 1997, March 13 has marked the beginning of deaf-history-month.
