"Judge Gerald Pappert stated that 'Penn does not have a strong chance of prevailing on appeal,' but acknowledged that the university 'narrowly' showed irreparable harm, indicating that releasing the requested information could not be undone if the appeal succeeded."
"'Public interest favors a stay,' Pappert wrote, countering the EEOC's argument that a stay would impede its investigation, highlighting that the commission had been inactive for nearly a year after issuing the charge."
A district court judge granted a stay in the legal dispute between the EEOC and the University of Pennsylvania, halting a ruling that required the university to disclose names of employees in Jewish groups. The stay allows time for the appeals court to review the case. Judge Pappert noted that while Penn's chances of winning on appeal are slim, the university demonstrated potential irreparable harm. He also stated that public interest supports the stay despite the EEOC's concerns about its investigation being hindered.
