intensive and relentless public relations campaign

This month, a judge ordered the University of Pennsylvania to justify its refusal to collect and disclose the names and personal contact information of Jewish faculty, staff and students to the federal government. Late last year, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued Penn to force compliance with this chilling demand, made in the name of fighting antisemitism. Jewish and non-Jewish community members at Penn and beyond have united to support the university's resistance to compiling and releasing data about members of campus Jewish organizations,

Penn has worked diligently to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish life on campus. We have cooperated extensively with the EEOC, providing over 100 documents, totaling nearly 900 pages; however, we have not turned over to the government lists of Jewish employees, Jewish student employees and those associated with Jewish organizations, or their personal contact information. Violating their privacy and trust is antithetical to ensuring Penn's Jewish community feels protected and safe, a Penn spokesperson said.

The University of Pennsylvania has erased trans swimmer Lia Thomas' records after reaching a 'deal' with President Donald Trump, promising to ban trans women from female sports.

The president isn't the only famous graduate to have attended this school.
