Emory University is under investigation by the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights after several groups claimed the school is discriminating against Muslim students.

The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is investigating Atlanta's Emory University for alleged anti-Muslim discrimination on campus. The investigation comes as college campuses across America are being engulfed by disruptive, chaotic and often violent anti-Israel protests — leaving many Jewish students with no choice but to flee campus or fear for their safety.

The last 6 months at Emory University have been difficult for Palestinian, Arab and Muslim students. We want the Department of Education to do what Emory failed to — which is investigate our reports of bias properly, listen to our voices, and hold Emory accountable, so we can safely advocate for Palestinian rights without fearing for our safety on campus,' Emory Students for Justice in Palestine said in a release from CAIR-Georgia about the complaint.

At Emory, at least 28 people were arrested during a recent demonstration at the Emory Quad. The school said its 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.' Video taken on campus showed police officers armed with Tasers, tear gas and pepper balls attempting to bring the rowdy anti-Israel agitators under control.
