Excerpt:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations and American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee have designated Emory University as an “institution of particular concern” due to its “hostility” towards anti-Israel student activists.
According to The Emory Wheel (which follows CAIR’s lead and refers to the activists as “anti-genocide”), the groups allege that Emory, along with George Washington University and UCLA, “set the standard for creating a thoroughly hostile and dangerous environment” for Muslims and Palestinians.
Back in April, CAIR-Georgia and Palestine Legal filed a federal civil rights complaint on behalf of Emory’s Students for Justice in Palestine, alleging the school created a “hostile anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic environment.”
Two months later, CAIR-Georgia claimed Emory was “tokenizing” and “furthering a pattern of exclusion” against Muslim students because its search for a full-time Muslim chaplain wasn’t “inclusive” enough.
At a recent press conference, CAIR’s Farah Afify alleged Emory has cultivated a “culture in which discrimination and harassment towards Palestinian Arabs and Muslims was reportedly permitted and even enabled.”
