The [formerly] “Equal” Employment Opportunity Commission [#EEOC] has been pursuing an inquiry into potential workplace #discrimination against #Jewish faculty & staff at #Penn, a #school in Philadelphia, since 2023. While #university officials said they welcomed the investigation, they balked last year after the government issued a subpoena seeking names & phone numbers for members of #Jewish groups on campus.
Judge Gerald J. Pappert of the US District Court in Philadelphia issued the decision, which largely sided with the #government, writing that #Penn’s “constitutional claims are easily dispensed with.”
He gave #Penn until May 1 to comply with the subpoena, though he said that the #university would not have to reveal any employee’s connection to a specific #Jewish-related organization.

🤖⚡ Researchers at #Penn and University of #Michigan created fully #autonomous microbots smaller than salt grains that cost just one penny each to manufacture.
The #solar-powered #robots use electrical fields for propulsion and communicate their temperature measurements through "wiggle dances" similar to honey bee communication.
