Hey,
I am a student at Emory and yesterday, March 21st, someone had written Trump in chalk hundreds of times on campus. Some people apparently were OFFENDED that someone wrote Trump 2016 in CHALK so these 50 people were protesting in the DUC…absolutely ridiculous. Today the president sent this email. Really hoped shit like this wouldn’t happen here but this is why nobody respects college students I guess.

Dear Emory Community,
Yesterday I received a visit from 40 to 50 student protesters upset by the unexpected chalkings on campus sidewalks and some buildings yesterday morning, in this case referencing Donald Trump. The students shared with me their concern that these messages were meant to intimidate rather than merely to advocate for a particular candidate, having appeared outside of the context of a Georgia election or campus campaign activity. During our conversation, they voiced their genuine concern and pain in the face of this perceived intimidation.
After meeting with our students, I cannot dismiss their expression of feelings and concern as motivated only by political preference or over-sensitivity.

Sincerely, Jim Wagner (President)

Probably being confused with Morehouse.
This is embarrassing, I’m considering removing my degree from Emory from my resume.
Nothing one good rainfall won’t cure...chill out.
Should be written in cursive.
Maybe controlled by Democrats but led by cowards.
white chalk is clearly racist
Why did the president feel a message was needed?
Emory is not a predominantly black college.
My son is working on a project where he had to do a preliminary layout. He just bought sidewalk chalk today. Too bad the nearest snowflake college is 50 miles away.
The same people who did this need to write Hillary 2016 tomorrow. Then sit back, watch what happens, and challenge why the Hillary writings were not enough to warrant a letter from the dean.
Just write “T45” everywhere.
