Medical student suing Emory University for discrimination says her suspension is 'professional death sentence'

A medical student at Emory University, Umaymah Mohammad, is suing the institution for discrimination after being suspended from its School of Medicine. The suspension occurred after she publicly expressed concern about a faculty member who had volunteered as a reserve medic for Israel during the war on Gaza. Mohammad claims the suspension, which is on her permanent record, is a 'professional death sentence' that will prevent her from practicing medicine. The lawsuit, filed with support from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, alleges discrimination and is presented as a form of resistance against the university's crackdown on pro-Palestine activism.
