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.
