Penn began providing documents to the committee last month in the probe launched after a December hearing into colleges' handling of antisemitism complaints on campus.
Providing the information could put faculty and students who have supported Palestinians at risk; they’ve already received threats, the suit said.Two University of Pennsylvania faculty members and the recently formed Penn Faculty for Justice in Palestine are suing Penn in federal court to stop the transfer of documents about faculty and students to a congressional committee investigating complaints of antisemitism on campus.
“The Committee has eagerly joined billionaire donors, pro-Israel groups, other litigants, and segments of the media in accusing Penn of being a pervasively anti-Semitic environment .”The university should not provide the documents, the lawsuit said, asserting it could put at risk faculty and students who are exercising their right to speak out in support of Palestinians and who already have been doxxed and threatened.
Penn began providing documents to the congressional committee in February. The university declined comment on that process. The committee already has subpoenaed Harvard for documents it said the university has not provided.after a December hearing it held on colleges’ response to antisemitism complaints on campuses.
