Emory University faculty recently gathered on campus to address concerns regarding the violent arrests that occurred on Thursday. Tenured professors are calling for the resignation of the university's president, Gregory Fenves, due to the decision to involve state and local police in dispersing the protesters.
During the gathering, Philosophy Professor Dilek Huseyinzadegan recounted a distressing incident where a police officer allegedly aimed a 'machine gun' at her head and threatened her with arrest while she was assisting a student in contacting her mother. Huseyinzadegan expressed feeling unsafe and uncertain about returning to campus for the remainder of the year.
