By bmcgovern

(DISCLAIMER: The following article contains offensive language. This reflects the decision of Elon Local News to accurately report the protest by quoting the students involved.) Students staged a demonstration at College Coffee on Tuesday morning, protesting what they claim is intolerance and inaction at Elon University. "Your silence is acceptance," senior Jasmine Whaley said, starting the protest. In unison, the protestors yelled slurs including "faggot," "dyke," "nigger," "coon," and "feminazi." After each slur, an individual student said: "Don't accept it, speak against it."

Style your summer with cool confidence

By Vaughn Vreeland

By Kyra Gemberling

But much at Elon has changed in the span of a decade, and the Elon known to students 10 years ago is radically different from the university incoming freshmen will find in fall 2013. “Elon has made lots of changes, from raising more money, to adding additional buildings, to more alumni involvement,” said Melanie May, Communications Manager for Admissions at Elon.
