"The government's demand implicates Penn's substantial interest in protecting its employees' privacy, safety, and First Amendment rights,"
"The charge does not refer to any employee complaint the agency has received, any allegation made by or concerning employees, or any specific workplace incident(s) contemplated by the EEOC, nor does it even identify any employment practice(s) the EEOC alleges to be unlawful or potentially harmful to Jewish employees,"
"comprehensive and speaks for itself."
"frightening and well-documented history"
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued a July subpoena asking for names and personal information of employees with Jewish faith or ancestry, plus affiliations with Jewish studies, organizations and community events. The University of Pennsylvania refused to comply and responded that the demand is unconstitutional and disregards the frightening and well-documented history of governmental cataloging of people with Jewish ancestry. Penn asserts the request threatens employee privacy, safety, and First Amendment rights. The university and supporting faculty and higher education groups oppose disclosure, while the administration seeks a court order to compel compliance. The subpoena does not cite specific complaints, allegations, incidents, or identified unlawful employment practices.
