The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission asked a federal court to compel the University of Pennsylvania to comply with a subpoena seeking records and witness access in an EEOC probe of alleged antisemitic discrimination, the agency said. EEOC officials said the university missed a response deadline and have pushed for material tied to employee complaints and task-force listening sessions central to its investigation. Penn, which has resisted handing over lists of Jewish faculty and students without consent, has sparked campus debate and staff rallies supporting the university’s decision to protect individual privacy. Employees gathered publicly to back Penn’s refusal to release names, arguing that the university cooperated in other ways while safeguarding personal information. The dispute adds another legal layer to a larger wave of federal inquiries into alleged discrimination and campus climate at major universities.
