Emory University is being probed by the Biden administration's Department of Energy for suspected anti-Muslim discrimination.

Atlanta's Emory University is being probed by the U.S. Department of Education's (DOE) Office for Civil Rights for suspected anti-Muslim discrimination on campus.

Anti-Israel protests are disrupting and becoming violent on college campuses across America, forcing Jewish students to either leave campus or feel unsafe.

The investigation by the DOE was prompted by a civil rights complaint filed by CAIR-Georgia and Palestine Legal on behalf of Emory Students for Justice in Palestine.

The groups assert that Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students have been subjected to harassment, intimidation, and discrimination on campus and online, including being labeled "terrorists" and "fake Muslims." They also claim that their flyers, which highlight the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces, have been torn down or discarded.

"Emory Students for Justice in Palestine expressed their concerns about the past 6 months at Emory University, stating that Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students have faced difficulties. They called on the Department of Education to investigate their reports of bias properly, listen to their voices, and hold Emory accountable so that they can safely advocate for Palestinian rights without fearing for their safety on campus. The students emphasized that no student should ever feel marginalized, intimidated, and unsafe like they have been feeling. They are here to learn and should be able to do so in peace without being threatened, harassed, and doxed simply for being Palestinian, Muslim, Arab, or a supporter of Palestinian rights."

Emory University stated that it received a complaint from the DOE and will respond, but it cannot discuss an ongoing investigation.

The DOE confirmed the investigation, but declined to provide further comment on the matter.

Emory University was praised by CAIR-Georgia's main chapter leader for the DOE's investigation into the institution.

"Azka Mahmood, CAIR-Georgia's executive director, stated in a press release that it is unjustifiable that students have been subjected to an unsafe and unwelcome learning environment without any resolution, despite repeatedly requesting assistance from the University. "We hope that this investigation will prompt Emory University administration to address the harassment and systemic discrimination experienced by Palestinian, Muslim, and Arab students," she added."

Anti-Israel encampments have been staged at universities across the U.S., prompting the DOE to investigate anti-Muslim discrimination.

At Emory, at least 28 people were arrested during a recent demonstration at the Emory Quad. The school's Police Department issued criminal trespass warnings to six individuals suspected of committing recent acts of vandalism on campus, and confirmed that none of these individuals are affiliated with Emory.

Anti-Israel protesters were confronted by police officers with Tasers, tear gas, and pepper balls in a video taken on campus.

The current federal criminal justice system under the Biden administration is typical of the DOE investigating alleged anti-Muslim discrimination on Emory's campus instead of antisemitism.

"According to Parker, the FBI and DOJ tend to overlook investigations of liberal progressive movement members, while cracking down on conservatives."

Parker emphasized that she is unable to discuss the DOE, but stated that the federal criminal justice system selectively safeguards certain individuals.

"The FBI claims that the violent and dangerous actions against Jews on college campuses the past couple of weeks are simply an exercise of first amendment rights," Parker said. "If those activities don’t constitute a violation of civil rights or a hate crime, I’m not sure what a hate crime is."

The FBI's website defines a hate crime as a criminal offense motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.

The FBI issued a statement regarding the anti-Israel and frequently antisemitic protests that have been reported on college campuses.

"The FBI maintains close contact with state and local law enforcement agencies and, in accordance with standard procedure, will share any information regarding potential threats. We uphold the right of individuals to peacefully exercise their First Amendment freedoms and the FBI investigates individuals who commit federal crimes through violence or other illegal activities."

She said "hold them accountable."

"Our nation values the protection of free speech under the First Amendment, but acts of violence, terroristic threats, and destruction are not tolerated. These actions are considered serious crimes and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law," she stated.
