If Emory University professors want to argue that evolution has no ethical implications, they are free to make that argument. (I wonder how many of them actually believe this.) But, if they do, they need to recognize that they are not just arguing against “benighted” anti-evolutionists, but they also are arguing against many of their cherished colleagues in evolutionary biology, including Darwin himself.
Of course, if evolution is guided by a transcendent intelligence, as Teilhard de Chardin thought, then the problem pretty much goes away.
