"The California Faculty Association has sued the California State University after the university system handed over the personal phone numbers and email addresses of 2,600 Los Angeles campus employees to the federal government in response to an antisemitism investigation. The lawsuit filed last week seeks a court order prohibiting CSU administrators from disclosing any faculty members' personal information in response to federal subpoenas without first providing notice to the impacted employees and giving them the opportunity to object."
"The CSU leadership is out of step with most Californians, and most people in the nation, said CFA President and Sacramento State professor Margarita Berta-Avila. While California is leading the nation in our efforts to fight the targeting and harassment of educators, government employees, LGBTQ folks, immigrants, and Black and Brown communities, CSU capitulated without a fight to the Trump Administration's witch hunt of faculty. We are suing for accountability of the CSU administration and we demand they do more to protect faculty, students and academic freedom."
The California Faculty Association filed a lawsuit seeking a court order to prohibit CSU administrators from disclosing faculty personal information in response to federal subpoenas without prior notice and an opportunity to object. CSU Los Angeles provided the phone numbers and email addresses of 2,600 campus employees to federal investigators as part of a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission probe into alleged antisemitism. The investigation followed complaints tied to student protests and a Gaza Solidarity Encampment amid the Israel-Hamas war. Students at multiple CSU campuses engaged in hunger strikes protesting the war. The lawsuit demands greater protections for faculty, students, and academic freedom and accountability from CSU leadership.
