Support suspended Palestinian MD/PHD Emory student, Umaymah Mohammad!

Take the two necessary actions:

1) Send an email to Emory administrators requesting they drop Umaymah's suspension and remove IDF soldiers from healthcare spaces and

2) Leave a message using the phone script for several Emory admin reiterating those demands.

Umaymah was unjustly suspended from Emory University School of Medicine in November of 2024 for rightfully calling out a physician-faculty member who recently served in the IDF as "aiding and abetting in a genocide" in an interview on Democracy Now. Emory's own Office of Open Expression has found that this is a violation of Umaymah's rights as a student, and has ruled that the medical school is in violation of Emory policy. We join this national campaign to demand that Emory drop Umaymah's suspension, stop its racist targeting of Palestinian students and those in solidarity, and saying NO to IDF SOLDIERS IN HEALTHCARE!

Press Release CAIR Georgia

Emory University is forced to revise campus protest policies, nondiscrimination policies, and bias report process even as it cuts student complainants out of the resolution process.

(Atlanta, GA, 1/17/25) – Emory Students for Justice in Palestine (ESJP), the Georgia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Georgia), and Palestine Legal, today addressed the announcement and resolution by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR). The resolution sets out several substantive remedial measures Emory University must take after OCR identified important Title VI compliance concerns at the University for alleged harassment of students based on their Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and Black identities. The Civil Rights groups note that the resolution affirms critical concerns shared by complainants but falls short of addressing specific harms to Palestinian, Arab, Muslim and Black students on Emory’s campus.

OCR stated in a letter to Emory University President Fenves “that the University may have contributed to and at a minimum appears to have failed to respond promptly or effectively to a hostile environment based on race and national origin, including shared Palestinian, Muslim, and/or Arab ancestry (hereinafter “national origin”) consistent with the requirements of Title VI; and 2) that the University’s policies and procedures for responding to reports of discriminatory harassment based on race and national origin may impede its ability to provide a prompt and effective response.”   

Now, the Department of Education will monitor Emory University as it revises campus protest policies, current nondiscrimination policies and the process of resolution of student-filed bias reports. As a result of OCR’s investigation, Emory University has agreed to create a definition of harassment that includes perceived or actual shared ancestry. Further, Emory University will have to submit all national-origin-related bias incident reports from 2023-2025 to OCR for OCR to review and determine whether they were resolved appropriately or remedial action by Emory is needed.

Yesterday’s resolution comes after OCR opened an investigation against Emory University on April 30th, 2024 into the University’s alleged discrimination against students with Palestinian, Muslim, or Arab ancestry since October 7th, 2023. The complaint was filed jointly by CAIR-Georgia and Palestine Legal... on behalf of ESJP students and other complainants.
