US EditionUS judge says University of Pennsylvania must give agency lists of Jewish faculty, students
Pappert said the EEOC has a substantial interest in investigating discrimination and limited the subpoena to protect employee affiliations.
- On Tuesday, District Judge Gerald Pappert ordered the University of Pennsylvania to comply with an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission subpoena seeking a list of Jewish community members to investigate antisemitism on the Ivy League campus.
- Republican President Donald Trump's administration has targeted universities for promoting "woke" ideologies, prompting a multi-agency task force last year to probe antisemitism in schools and universities.
- Penn provided nearly 900 pages of documents but produced only three complaints filed by Jewish faculty since November 2022, citing confidentiality concerns in refusing to disclose personal information about its 20,000 employees without consent.
- Pappert rejected arguments that compliance would violate constitutional rights by producing "lists of Jews," calling such comparisons to the Holocaust and Nazis "unfortunate and inappropriate."
- Although ordering compliance, the court blocked the agency's demand for information regarding employees' affiliations with specific organizations, narrowing the subpoena's scope within the Ivy League institution.
