A protest at Emory University resulted in the arrest of 28 individuals, including 20 members of the Emory community, according to Vice President for Public Safety Cheryl Elliott. The incident occurred on Thursday morning when a group of protestors arrived on campus and disregarded the presence of Emory Police Department (EPD) officers.
Elliott stated that the protestors pushed past the officers and set up tents in an area designated for Commencement equipment and materials. Despite multiple dispersal orders issued to vacate the premises due to trespassing, the protestors refused to comply.
