The campus of Emory University in Atlanta was calm on Saturday following a series of events that led to clashes between protesters and police, resulting in multiple arrests including two Emory professors. The situation escalated on Thursday, leading to a push by tenured faculty for a 'no confidence' vote against Emory President Gregory Fenves.

One of the arrested faculty members, Noelle McAfee, chair of Emory’s philosophy department, expressed her perspective on the events. She mentioned that university administrators exacerbated the situation by involving the police, leading to her own arrest while trying to observe the situation peacefully.
