Two major compliance disputes are forcing universities into legal and regulatory confrontations. The EEOC accused the University of Pennsylvania of resisting a subpoena tied to an antisemitism probe and alleged an 'intensive' PR campaign to avoid compliance; AAUP and faculty groups moved to intervene citing religious‑liberty concerns. Separately, the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights found that San José State’s handling of a transgender athlete violated Title IX under new federal guidance, and proposed a resolution that would require public acknowledgements and individualized apologies. Both cases highlight the rising legal exposure for campus administrators navigating contentious civil‑rights and free‑speech battles.
