Moments after Columbia University announced it would scale back and relocate its commencement ceremony, Emory University followed suit on Monday by issuing a similar announcement. The Atlanta-based university revealed that it would be moving its commencement to nearby Duluth, Georgia.
University President Gregory Fenves emphasized that the decision was made after careful consideration and in consultation with various stakeholders, including the Emory Police Department, security advisors, and other agencies. These entities collectively advised against hosting the commencement events on Emory's campuses due to safety concerns.
