The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission moved to drop its subpoena enforcement efforts seeking identification and personal contact information of Jewish employees at the University of Pennsylvania, according to court filings. The development follows a dispute in which Penn argued employees’ privacy interests outweighed the EEOC’s request for detailed, faith-linked and contact information. Under a resolution agreement, EEOC filed a joint resolution with Penn and in exchange Penn agreed to dismiss its appeal as moot and not seek vacatur. The underlying case stems from an EEOC charge filed in December 2023 alleging antisemitic harassment and inadequate institutional response. Penn had maintained that it shared information only where employees consented, while the district court ruling had compelled compliance without revealing affiliation with specific organizations. The EEOC’s step-back reduces near-term legal exposure for Penn while leaving the broader question of how civil-rights investigations should handle sensitive employee identity information unresolved across federal enforcement practices.
