A team of Elon students — led by seniors Emmanuel Obi and Keith Davis — are striving to change the narrative with a solution: “Our Watch,” a system for the distribution of these recordings.

Some researchers are saying free speech is suppressed on college campuses — an April 2016 Gallup survey that surveyed more than 3,000 college students in the nation revealed that 54 percent of students believe, “the climate on [their] campus prevents some people from saying what they believe because others might find it offensive.” Others are saying that colleges are just becoming more inclusive — the Wall Street Journal reported on a survey of 800 college students that found 51 percent, “favored speech codes.” But what are you saying?
It is an intimidating challenge to be a young voter in this election.

On a typical Monday, I leave my apartment at 8 a.m. and don’t return until about midnight. During that time, I go to class, I work as a barista, I work in the newsroom, I sometimes eat, and I try to do homework. My visual transcript remains blank through all of this. The purpose of the visual transcript is to capture and validate student’s co-curricular experience.
Sophomore quarterback Daniel Thompson didn’t want to look at the stats after the Elon University football team’s game Saturday afternoon against Villanova University. And frankly, I can’t blame him. Not after the Phoenix was blown out by the Wildcats 42-7, a 35-point loss that felt like much more.
