周二，费城的一名联邦法官允许特朗普政府在校园歧视调查中收集宾夕法尼亚大学犹太员工的信息。
尽管学生和教职员工团体反对这一决定，他们将这一决定与纳粹德国的策略相提并论。
法官杰拉尔德·帕佩特的裁决支持平等就业机会委员会，该委员会一直在调查反犹太主义，并声称宾夕法尼亚大学容忍敌对的教育环境，未能为犹太教职员工和其他员工提供一个免受骚扰的工作环境。
作为调查的一部分，EEOC试图获得宾夕法尼亚大学犹太相关组织雇员的联系信息。法官命令佩恩服从。
“虽然措辞不当，但这一请求有一个可以理解的目的——以一种狭义的方式，而不是寻求所有大学员工的信息，获得宾大犹太社区中可能在工作场所经历或目睹反犹太主义的个人的信息，”帕珀特在决定中说。
犹太学生和教师团体犹豫不决，将EEOC的努力与大屠杀和纳粹编制犹太人名单相提并论。法官称这种比较是“不幸和不恰当的”，并在裁决中表示，犹太雇员“很可能有与宾大是否对犹太雇员进行宗教歧视相关的信息。”
一名大学发言人表示，宾大将会上诉。
“我们仍然致力于对抗反犹太主义和一切形式的歧视，并已采取多种措施来防止和解决这些可鄙的事件。虽然我们承认EEOC在调查歧视方面的重要作用，但我们也有义务保护我们员工的权利。我们仍然认为，要求宾夕法尼亚大学创建犹太教职员工名单，并提供个人联系信息，引起了严重的隐私和第一修正案的关注。该大学不按宗教保留员工名单。我们打算上诉，”发言人的声明说。
University of Pennsylvania must give Trump admin list of Jewish campus employees amid discrimination case
A federal judge in Philadelphia on Tuesday allowed the Trump administration to collect information about the University of Pennsylvania's Jewish employees amid the campus discrimination probe.
The decision comes despite the objection of student and faculty groups who compared it to the tactics of Nazi Germany.
Judge Gerald Pappert’s ruling backed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which has been investigating antisemitism and claims Penn tolerated a hostile educational environment and failed to provide Jewish faculty, staff and other employees a work environment free from harassment.
As part of the investigation, the EEOC sought to obtain the contact information of Penn employees in Jewish-related organizations. The judge ordered Penn to comply.
“Though ineptly worded, the request had an understandable purpose—to obtain in a narrowly tailored way, as opposed to seeking information on all university employees, information on individuals in Penn’s Jewish community who could have experienced or witnessed antisemitism in the workplace,” Pappert said in the decision.
Jewish student and faculty groups balked, comparing the EEOC’s efforts to the Holocaust and the Nazis’ compilation of lists of Jews. The judge called the comparison “unfortunate and inappropriate” and said in his ruling that Jewish employees “are reasonably likely to have information relevant to whether Penn subjected Jewish employees to religious discrimination.”
A university spokesman said Penn would appeal.
“We remain committed to confronting antisemitism and all forms of discrimination, and have taken multiple steps to prevent and address these despicable events. While we acknowledge the important role of the EEOC to investigate discrimination, we also have an obligation to protect the rights of our employees. We continue to believe that requiring Penn to create lists of Jewish faculty and staff, and to provide personal contact information, raises serious privacy and First Amendment concerns. The University does not maintain employee lists by religion. We intend to appeal,” the spokesman’s statement said.
