"The judicial system would find that Emory failed to protect its students, to protect its staff, to protect the educational mission of the university, said philosophy professor Noelle McAfee, one of the plaintiffs."
"Emory acts appropriately and responsibly to keep our community safe from threats of harm, Diamond said in a statement. We regret this issue is being litigated but we have confidence in the legal process."
"The civil lawsuit in DeKalb County State Court demands that the private university repay money the three spent defending themselves against misdemeanour charges that were later dismissed, along with punitive damages."
Three professors at Emory University have filed a lawsuit after their arrests during a protest against Israel's actions in Gaza. They argue that the university violated its free-speech policies by calling police to disband the protest, leading to 28 arrests. Philosophy professor Noelle McAfee stated that the university failed to protect its educational mission and the rights of students and staff. Emory's spokesperson claimed the lawsuit lacks merit and that the university acted responsibly to ensure community safety. The lawsuit seeks reimbursement for legal expenses and punitive damages.
