In one of O’Brien’s recent Times stories, she reported on how employees at Lucas’s #EEOC have faced pressure to bring—or keep alive—cases against white men, even when the evidence seems weak. In one case, “employees had to justify abandoning the case of a white man who said he was the victim of #discrimination because he didn’t get a job,” O’Brien wrote. “The job, the office’s review found, went to another white man, and all the other applicants were also white men.”

Stories From Academia [TM]: One time a hiring committee was discussing candidates for a job. Because of geography and culture it was often hard to get good candidates to stay; we really wanted this guy. One colleague, let's call him Bo, had emigrated from another country in his 60s, and was now probably 70.

Chair: Dr. Smith has a great CV, a promising research program, good teaching skills... any comments before we vote?

Somebody: I think we all want to give him an offer.

Others: [Agreement]

Somebody: He's going to get snatched up by a bigger school with more money. How do we convince him to take our offer?

Bo: I have noticed that Dr. Smith is a Mexican. There are many other Mexicans in town and we might--

HR Rep: This isn't a line of discussion we can continue. We're close to a line here.

Chair: Yes, good point. Bo, keep the anti-discrimination rules in mind, please.

Bo: But I am not discriminating against him...

Chair: Other ideas?

Everyone: [thinking]

Bo: I suspect Dr. Smith is a homosexual! We have a rich homosexual community here and--

HR Rep: DR. BO.

Discrimination in hospitality jobs often goes unreported, but that does not mean it is not happening.
California employees are protected under strong laws that cover race, national origin, and retaliation.
Documentation is key to building a strong case.

Pretty detailed article. The judge's ruling sets a bad precedent, IMO. I don't understand why individuals whose names will be revealed as a result of this ruling can't be given the options to: 1) go public or remain private; 2) state whether they feel they experienced antisemitism post-October 7 or did not. Seems like that would allow the EEOC to do its job. OTOH, I think this is the Orange 🤡 regime operating with a hidden agenda. It is intimidating.

Penn will appeal judge’s ruling ordering release of names of employees affiliated with Jewish organizations to Trump administration

Penn had argued that releasing the information sought by the EEOC for its investigation into antisemitism would put employees at risk and create an undue burden on the school.

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.
