Investigators aren't building a 'list of Jews.' They're trying to protect them
Recently, faculty and student groups asked a district court to vacate an order enforcing an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission subpoena seeking the names and contact information of Jewish employees and members of Jewish organizations at the University of Pennsylvania.
TL;DR
- Faculty and student groups are challenging an EEOC subpoena for information on Jewish employees at the University of Pennsylvania.
- The subpoena has been described as an attempt to create a "list of Jews," sparking privacy concerns.
- The subpoena is part of a civil rights investigation into discrimination and harassment experienced by Jewish employees.
- Such investigations are a first step for individuals seeking to enforce their rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
