Federal judge orders University of Pennsylvania to provide lists of Jewish employees to EEOC for discrimination investigation
U.S. District Judge Gerald Pappert ruled Tuesday that the University of Pennsylvania must comply with an EEOC subpoena requesting lists of Jewish faculty, students and their contact information as part of a federal discrimination probe. The investigation stems from incidents including antisemitic graffiti, swastikas painted on buildings, and protests related to Gaza. Penn plans to appeal the ruling, citing privacy and First Amendment concerns.
