The Emory University Senate Executive Committee is forming a new subcommittee, the Open Expression Subcommittee, to review and potentially revise the current Respect for Open Expression Policy. Plans to amend the policy have been in talks since Dec. 2023, but the spring semester’s on-campus pro-Palestinian protests emphasized the need for change, according to Student Government Association (SGA) Ranking Member Sohan Bellam (26C). More recently, Fenves codified an addendum to the open expression policy that prohibits encampments on Emory property, among other restrictions.
