On Thursday, July 23rd, 2026, court documents revealed that the Trump administration has withdrawn its demand to subpoena a list of Jewish employees at the University of Pennsylvania. This move comes as part of broader accusations against several universities, including Penn, for allegedly failing to prevent antisemitism on their campuses.
The documents were filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and involve the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The administration's retreat from this demand marks a significant development in the ongoing legal and policy disputes concerning antisemitism in higher education institutions.
The University of Pennsylvania remains one of the schools accused by the administration of insufficient measures to address antisemitic incidents, though the specific subpoena for employee information has been dropped.
