Students at Emory University protested outside of the administration office, complaining that they were “afraid” and “in pain” from campaign messages supporting Donald Trump written in chalk.
“You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!” the students shouted in an antiphonal chant outside of the administration building on Tuesday.
Wagner said that the university will review security footage and try to identify the people who wrote the chalk messages, disciplining them with the conduct violation process if they’re students, and pressing trespassing charges if they’re outsiders.
Later that day, Wagner sent an email that stated that the chalk messages represented “values regarding diversity and respect that clash with Emory’s own.”
