On April 22, Andrea Lucas, chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), addressed a group of academics, legal experts, and community advocates at a conference at Harvard University.
The conversation immediately turned to the elephant in the room: the EEOC’s investigation into anti-Semitism at the University of Pennsylvania. As part of the investigation, the EEOC subpoenaed the university for the names and contacts of employees affiliated with Jewish groups at the university, a move that stirred controversy and raised safety concerns from students and faculty.
