In the eyes of many of its students and faculty, Emory University’s legacy is defined by an amalgamation of oppressive measures taken toward on-campus protests. The University continually contradicts its own mission of “apply[ing] knowledge in the service of humanity” by smothering its students’ attempts to embody that pledge through peaceful protest. Administrators themselves have weaponized harmful rhetoric to spur violence on campus, notably arrests, limiting Emory’s sham of open expression.
