University of Pennsylvania ordered to provide names of Jewish employees to federal agency

The University of Pennsylvania was ordered by a federal judge on Tuesday to relinquish official records of campus Jewish employees as part of a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigation of antisemitism.

The federal probe stems from reported incidents of antisemitic discrimination at the Ivy League university in Philadelphia, including the painting of a Nazi swastika on a campus building, "hateful graffiti" at a college fraternity, reports of people shouting antisemitic obscenities, destroying property at a Jewish student life center, and incidents that occurred on campus during Gaza protests in recent years.
