A significant crop of the Emory community wants Greg Fenves – the school’s president – to step down. 

Ben Dixon is part of that crop. He’s a junior undergraduate who voted “no confidence” in a student referendum conducted by the Emory Student Government Association (SGA) this week. 

“I feel that Greg Fenves has made the campus climate – especially for Black and brown students – incredibly unsafe,” Dixon said on the Emory Quad.
