Woke

In 2018, Law Professor Paul J. Zwier II said the word "negro" when discussing a 1967 court case about a hotel buffet employee who took a plate away from a black customer and said a “Negro could not be served.”[14]

After student outcry against the incident, University administrators quickly condemned Zwier’s use of the term and initiated an investigation by the Office of Equity and Inclusion. Zwier apologized to the class for using the word the next day, and said he should have said “the ‘N-word’” instead of saying it in full. Zwier's classes were re-assigned to another instructor pending the investigation results. Zwier said he will attend a planned “unity rally” to demonstrate “support for a cohesive and mutually respectful Emory Law.”

Wrenica Archibald, President of the Black Law Students Association walk-in during the class session in which Zwier apologized for his use of the racial slur, said she found Zwier’s apology unclear. "I remain uncertain of what type of message his apology truly sent."

School of Medicine

The psychiatrist Charles Nemeroff joined the Emory University School of Medicine in 1991. During his time at Emory, he built the psychiatry department into one of the field's leading centers and was considered one of the nation's most influential psychiatrists, having written more than 850 research reports and reviews. At the same time, Nemeroff accepted large consulting fees from drug companies whose products he has reviewed.[15][16]

In 2008, he resigned from the position of chairman after Emory University found him in violation of policy for not disclosing payments received from drug makers for consulting fees.[17] He was forbidden to apply for or be involved with any National Institutes of Health grants for a period of two years[18]. In 2009, Nemeroff became the chair of psychiatry at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.[19] In 2018, Nemeroff became chair and professor of psychiatry at the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School.[20]
