The university said Thursday the 'activists' who started the encampment were not 'recognized' as part of the Emory community.
Emory University accused pro-Palestine protesters Thursday of disrupting students who were finishing the academic year.
“The activists who initially gathered were not recognized as members of our community and were disrupting the university as our students finish classes and prepare for finals,” university spokesperson Laura Diamond told The National Desk . “Some members of the Emory community later joined the initial group.”
“Emory does not tolerate vandalism or other criminal activity on campus,” Diamond said. “In response to this encampment, the Emory Police Department notified these individuals that they were trespassing. When they refused to leave, law enforcement cleared the Quad and took a couple of dozen people into custody.”
“Our shared struggle for dignity, justice, and the right to live free from state violence is international, and it is only through collective resistance and solidarity that these oppressive structures can be dismantled,” they wrote.
