Professors sue Atlanta’s Emory University over handling of Israel-Gaza protests

Students and faculty have also protested against surveillance cameras on campus and handling of racist posts by a student

Atlanta’s Emory University is facing a lawsuit from three tenured professors over its handling of 2024 protests against Israel’s assault on Gaza, capping off a tumultuous end to the spring semester.

In recent months faculty and students have also demanded the removal of Flock surveillance cameras on campus, and Black law school students and others protested the school’s response to a student’s social media posts and emails that were filled with the N-word.
