"Israeli universities are embedded in the Israeli state’s military-industrial complex and actively contribute to the occupation of Palestinian land and the apartheid and genocide of Palestinian life. German universities and academic institutions serve as strategic partners in the Israeli colonial apparatus."

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.

The #Trump admin was within its rights to demand that the University of Pennsylvania turn over information about #Jewish people on campus as part of a federal investigation into #discrimination at the #school, a federal judge decided Tuesday.

The ruling clears a hurdle for the Trump admin as it targets elite #schools over accusations of antisemitism.
