University of Pennsylvania ordered to disclose Jewish student information to federal agency

A federal judge has ordered the University of Pennsylvania to provide a list of its Jewish employees to a federal agency as part of an investigation into US discrimination.

The university was subpoenaed by the Trump administration, which is seeking information about the Jewish community in the United States. The subpoena requires the university to turn over a list of all employees who identify as Jewish or have ties to the Jewish community.

The judge’s ruling comes after the university had previously refused to comply with the subpoena, citing concerns about employee privacy and potential retaliation against Jewish students and faculty members.

The Trump administration has stated that it is conducting an investigation into anti-Semitism on college campuses and wants to gather information about individuals who may be targeted by such incidents. The university has argued that providing a list of Jewish employees would compromise its ability to protect the confidentiality of its students and faculty.

The judge’s decision is seen as a significant development in the ongoing controversy surrounding the Trump administration’s efforts to investigate anti-Semitism on college campuses.
