This idea of establishing a "Voice Off" rule on the campus of Gallaudet University for signing professors wouldn't be a new one. In fact, this probably could be looked at as the "holy grail" for many Deaf supporters seeing that such a rule be enforced among professors at Gallaudet University. I know that Dr. Davila has requested his vlog readers/watchers to submit ideas (greatideas@gallaudet.edu) in his vlog (see transcript). But there's seem to be some indications lately over the past several months leading up to now that people are perhaps now suggesting ideas of a "Voice Off" policy to Dr. Davila and/or the Administrators. Before going further, how would this work in light of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (see here, here and here) ?
Would this move be prudent? How viable would this be? Must it be established and enforced in all classrooms? Would this move in fact violate Section 504 by those who want voice and sign? And lastly, what kind of a technology could help solve this by allowing information not be lost by students at Gallaudet University?
I can think of one.
