Ithaca College’s Deaf studies minor has been put on an administrative pause and is currently not accepting more students for the foreseeable future. The three ASL professors at the college are being laid off after the Fall 2025 semester.

Haynes and Selznick undoubtedly set out to tell a story about children for children, but nobody said it had to be bland.
