Robert R. Davila
Dr. Robert Davila (born July 19, 1932) served as the ninth president of Gallaudet University,〔(Presidents & Terms - Gallaudet University )〕〔(About Dr. Robert R. Davila - Gallaudet University )〕 the world's only university in which all programs and services are specifically designed to accommodate deaf and hard of hearing students. His appointment came after the wake of the Unity for Gallaudet Movement protests of 2006,〔(Inside Gallaudet - Gallaudet University )〕 when many students, staff, and alumni objected to the initial choice of Jane Fernandes as the intended next president.〔(No-Confidence Vote for Gallaudet Leader )〕〔(NPR: Fernandes Vows to Fight for Presidency of Gallaudet )〕 It was originally intended that he serve only 18–24 months as an interim-president, but the Board dropped the interim designation and then extended his contract to 36 months.
== Early life ==
Robert Davila was born in southern California to Mexican-American parents who worked in fields and orchards. At age eight, he contracted spinal meningitis and became deaf.〔Lang, Harry G., Cohen, Oscar P. and Joseph E. Fischgrund. 2007. ''Moments of Truth: Robert R. Davila, the Story of a Deaf Leader''. Rochester, NY: RIT Press, p. 17〕 When his mother learned about a school for the deaf in northern California, she sent him alone on a journey to the California School for the Deaf in Berkeley (which later moved to California School for the Deaf, Fremont).
