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]

2024 protest arrest

[edit]

In April 2024, Fohlin was arrested at an Emory University protest against the treatment of Palestinians during the Israel-Hamas War.[6] Fohlin was charged with battery and disorderly conduct after being recorded hitting a police officer on the head and while being taken away in handcuffs was recorded admitting she hit an officer in the head.[7][8] An 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.[9] 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."[10]
