Emory University President Faces No Confidence Vote Amid Student Protests

The vote reflects deep divisions over the handling of anti-Israel protests and campus security measures.

Emory University's undergraduate students have overwhelmingly voted no confidence in President Gregory L. Fenves, amidst controversy over his handling of campus protests.
The no confidence vote follows arrests and the use of force against protesters advocating for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences also passed a similar motion, criticizing the administration's response to the protests.
In response to safety concerns and ongoing unrest, commencement ceremonies have been relocated from the Emory campus to an off-site venue.
The controversy has sparked broader discussions on campus about police presence and the handling of peaceful protests.
