A judge granted the University of Pennsylvania a temporary stay in the Trump administration’s push for Jewish employee information sought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. U.S. District Judge Gerald Pappert paused an order that would have required Penn to turn over extensive data while Penn appeals a prior March decision. The EEOC subpoena sought identifying and contact information for employees affiliated with Jewish groups, as well as de-anonymized responses tied to campus antisemitism concerns and related listening sessions. Penn argued that providing personal and confidential information without consent would cause harm during the appeal. Even as the judge found Penn did not have a strong chance on appeal, the stay preserves Penn’s ability to litigate the scope of the request without triggering immediate disclosure. The case will continue as an appeals court weighs the broader public-interest questions around investigations and personal data.
