Judge orders University of Pennsylvania to provide list of Jews to federal agency

Trump administration claims list is part of an EEOC investigation into antisemitic discrimination at university

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the University of Pennsylvania to hand over records about Jewish employees on campus to a federal agency as part of an investigation into antisemitic discrimination but said it did not have to reveal any employee's affiliation with a specific group.

US district judge Gerald Pappert said employees can refuse to take part in the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) investigation but the agency needs the opportunity to talk to them directly to learn if they have evidence of discrimination".
