Three Emory University professors are suing the university over their arrests during a 2024 on-campus protest. The professors claim they witnessed police violently assaulting students and were arrested for speaking out. The lawsuit, filed in DeKalb County State Court, alleges Emory violated its own policies and suppressed free speech. The charges against the professors were eventually dismissed. Emory's response to the protest has been criticized, with the professors arguing the university failed to protect free speech. The university's interim president, Greg Fenves, announced his retirement last month.
