Judge orders UPenn to turn over records of Jewish employees in federal discrimination probe

A federal judge has ordered University of Pennsylvania to release records about Jewish employees to federal investigators probing allegations of antisemitic discrimination on campus. The ruling, issued Tuesday, requires the university to provide the data while protecting individual employees' privacy by withholding specific group affiliations tied to particular names. The order represents a significant step in the federal discrimination investigation, balancing the government's need to examine potential bias against UPenn's obligation to safeguard employee privacy. The case reflects heightened scrutiny of university handling of antisemitism complaints, particularly following campus protests over Gaza in recent years that sparked accusations of discrimination against Jewish students and staff.
