Caroline Fohlin is an economics professor at Emory University who specializes in corporate finance, venture capital, economic history, and financial market structures.[1][2]
Education[edit]
Fohlin graduated from Tufts University with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and quantitative economics in 1988. She earned a PhD in economics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1994.[1]
Career[edit]
Fohlin served on the California Institute of Technology faculty from 1994 to 2004. In 2005, she took a position at Johns Hopkins University.[3] She joined the Emory University faculty in 2012.[4] She currently serves as an editor of Financial History Review.[5]
2024 protest arrest[edit]
On April 25, 2024, Fohlin was arrested at an Emory University protest against the treatment of Palestinians during the Israel-Hamas War. According to The Daily Beast, Fohlin had confronted police officers who were restraining a student protester, but did not touch the officers or the student. Fohlin was then herself restrained by officers and tackled to the ground.[6]
In the video of the incident captured by CNN, Fohlin can be heard exclaiming “I am a professor! I am a professor of economics.”[7]
Fohlin was charged with battery and disorderly conduct. A DeKalb County judge granted her a $50 bond, and she was released from jail the day after the protest.[8][9]
Reactions[edit]
An April 26 opinion piece by Lydia Polgreen for The New York Times cited Fohlin's arrest as an example of the "horrifying" use of force against pro-Palestine demonstrations on college campuses. Polgreen described Fohlin's arrest as "especially shocking."[10]
On the April 29 edition of CNN Newsroom, anchor Jim Acosta said he could not "get over" the footage of Fohlin's arrest and criticized police for their "heavy-handed tactics."[11]
Personal life[edit]
Fohlin is married to John Latting, the dean of admissions at Emory University. The couple have three children.[4]
