A man is detained as pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrate at the University of Texas

Emory University students and faculty members who were arrested during a pro-Palestinian protest on campus will not face any release restrictions, as ruled by DeKalb County Magistrate Court Judge E. Ann Guerrant.

The decision came after Emory University's Interim Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Amy Adelman, expressed that the university did not wish for any restrictions to be imposed on its faculty, staff, and students.

During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Emory University Economics professor Caroline Fohlin was among those detained during the protest. Fohlin, a tenured professor with 13 years of service at the university, was charged with disorderly conduct and simple battery against a police officer.
