Trump admin drops subpoena seeking info on Jewish Penn staff in federal probe

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has withdrawn its subpoena demanding the University of Pennsylvania disclose personal contact information for Jewish staff. The university confirmed on Thursday that it was able to protect its employees' rights and that "none of the subpoenaed personal contact information was disclosed." This development comes as part of a federal probe into alleged antisemitism at the Ivy League institution, investigating claims that the school mishandled antisemitism allegations against Jewish employees. While a U.S. District Court had previously ruled the agency could move forward with the subpoena, a resolution agreement between the EEOC and the university means the agency will not enforce it, and the court matter will be dropped. The EEOC's broader investigation into antisemitism at Penn remains ongoing.
