The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission asked a federal court to compel the University of Pennsylvania to produce records and witness information in an investigation into alleged antisemitic discrimination by employees. The EEOC says Penn failed to comply with a subpoena issued in July and served a partially modified subpoena that the university missed, according to court filings. Penn counters it has cooperated and refused to hand over lists of Jewish employees and students without consent, citing privacy concerns. Separately, faculty and staff rallied around Penn’s refusal to disclose names after the administration pressed back against federal demands, framing the dispute as both a privacy fight and a regulatory test-case. The episode places university counsel offices and campus leadership at the center of a national enforcement fight over discrimination investigations and data privacy; trustees and tech/legal teams should prepare for potential court-ordered disclosures and reputational fallout.
