Judge to decide if Penn must produce records in probe of antisemitism at Ivy League school
- On Tuesday at 10 a.m., a hearing began in the federal courthouse in Philadelphia before U.S. District Judge Gerald J. Pappert to decide if Penn must produce records for the EEOC's antisemitism probe.
- The EEOC sued Penn in November to enforce a subpoena from December 2023 investigation into alleged antisemitism after claims surfaced in that month, with the dispute ongoing at Tuesday's hearing.
- The EEOC demanded lists including employees in Penn's Jewish Studies Program, rosters of Jewish clubs, and names of employees who filed antisemitism complaints, citing incidents like graffiti and property damage while Penn says it produced about 900 pages of material.
- Pappert did not indicate when he would issue a ruling after the four-hour hearing; a Penn spokesperson said the school will await his decision, while five groups represented by the ACLU oppose forcing Penn to create participant lists.
- Penn has refused to provide names, calling the subpoena unconstitutional, citing 'the frightening and well-documented history of governmental entities that undertook efforts to identify and assemble information regarding persons of Jewish ancestry' in opposing the demand.
