The Justice Department asked the University of Pennsylvania for lists of certain employees as part of an investigation into antisemitism on campus, and the request has triggered a backlash from faculty and civil-rights groups. Penn has resisted parts of the subpoena and critics argue the demand risks exposing private personnel records and chilling campus speech. The administration says the information is necessary to investigate alleged antisemitic conduct; university leaders and civil-liberties advocates say the subpoena raises legal and privacy concerns and could undermine trust between faculty and administration. The dispute adds to broader tensions between federal law enforcement and higher education institutions over campus climate investigations.
