A federal judge on April 27 agreed to delay a previous order requiring the University of Pennsylvania to provide information about its Jewish-linked groups to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

The commission issued a subpoena to the university in November 2025 seeking information about potential witnesses and victims of anti-Semitic harassment on campus. The EEOC said the investigation followed a charge brought by EEOC Commissioner Andrea Lucas in 2023 alleging the university subjected faculty and staff to anti-Semitic harassment across its workplaces and failed to address the issue.
