Emory University was calm Saturday after the violent arrest
The Emory University campus in Atlanta was quiet on Saturday, following the arrest of protesters and at least two Emory professors on Thursday in clashes with police.
On Friday, Emory’s tenured faculty urged a vote of “no confidence” in Emory President Gregory Fenves following the violent arrest.
One of the faculty members who was arrested – Noelle McAfee, chair of Emory’s philosophy department – told CNN that university administrators escalated the problem on Thursday when they called the police.
He said the police told him to step back while standing near the detained student.
“Here I am – now, not just a professor but a human being – seeing this kid being beaten. I said ‘No’ and I stood there. But I stood there in a non-confrontational way. I just stood there. And then I was arrested.”
Fenves said in a letter Friday that prior to the arrests there were “very organized outdoor protesters” who came to campus in vans to “build a camp, and bypass the Quad.”
But students and faculty who participated in the protests remember the events differently, saying the protesters were mostly students and people affiliated with the university.
One such student, Martin Berg, a third-year law student who was arrested, said this: “What I saw was without provocation and brutal brutality by the police that Emory University has allowed to enter the campus and attack their students. Message sent by the president of the University regarding outside instigators … is a lie.”
“The majority of us (in prison) are linked to the university in one way or another,” he added.
