Emory University put Umaymah Mohammad through ‘one of the most dehumanizing’ experiences of her life as a new front opens in the silencing of pro-Palestinian voices
He’s a Professor at her medical faculty. That means she has to work with him to get her degree.
Maybe this is an English issue, but generally students learn from, not work with their teachers. But again, the article does not actually mention he is her professor, only that they are at the same school. We don’t know that they have any interaction at this school.
She refused to do that.
The university suspended her.
Except that’s not why she was suspended. They suspended her for giving an interview where she calls out the professor for volunteering to provide medical services for the IDF. Since she was leading the campus protests, this was considered targeted harassment.
The title is wrong and misleading. A more accurate title would be “University student suspended for outing a pro-Israel professor in interview”, but i guess truth doesn’t get clicks.
Many students, specifically PhD students, also work for the university. I didn’t say “work under”, I said “work with”, as in, work at the same faculty, i.e. they are coworkers.
She called him out publicly for volunteering for a foreign military currently enacting a genocide. It’s a big stretch to call that “outing” or “public harassment”.
And nowhere does the headline claim something different.
No where in the article does it say they work at the same faculty. You simply do not know this to be true.

And nowhere does the headline claim something different.
Except the headline does not say this.
Any reasonable person reading the headline would think the university is forcing her to work with the IDF and suspended her for refusing.
But like you just made my point for me, she was suspended for the calling out part.
I don’t agree she should have been suspended, but the headline is 100 percent false.
You are twisting words beyond recognition here, and for what? The guy was an IDF soldier. How is that not “working along IDF soldiers”? It’s not saying “working for the IDF”, which seems to be your criterion.
Next you’re going to complain that it says soldiers, plural, I assume? That would at least be a valid criticism in your quest to… archive what, exactly?
It’s already a stretch to say volunteering medical services for the IDF makes you a soldier, and yes it’s a lie to say she was forced to “work” with soldiers.
But, let’s give you the benefit and say is just semantics and the first part is accurate (it’s not)
The title is STILL blatantly false because the school did NOT suspend her for refusing to work with this professor. The (arguably unjustified) suspension is unrelated.
Your argument is to blatantly lie. The professor of medicine volunteered as a medic in the IDF.
At the same time, Mohammad told her Democracy Now! interviewer: “One of the professors of medicine we have at Emory recently went to serve as a volunteer medic” in the IDF. That professor, she continued, “participated in aiding and abetting a genocide, in aiding and abetting the destruction of the healthcare system in Gaza and the murder of over 400 healthcare workers, and is now back at Emory so-called ‘teaching’ medical students and residents how to take care of patients”.
We can read the article. You aren’t fooling anyone.
