Several faculty groups have denounced the Trump administration’s efforts to obtain information about Jewish professors, staff and students at the University of Pennsylvania – including personal emails, phone numbers and home addresses – as government abuse with “ominous historical overtones”.
The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is demanding the university turn over names and personal information about Jewish members of the Penn community as part of the administration’s stated goal to combat antisemitism on campuses. But some Jewish faculty and staff have condemned the government’s demand as “a visceral threat to the safety of those who would find themselves identified because compiling and turning over to the government ‘lists of Jews’ conjures a terrifying history”, according to a press release put out by the groups’ lawyers.

“These requests would require Penn to create and turn over a centralized registry of Jewish students, faculty, and staff – a profoundly invasive and dangerous demand that intrudes deeply into the freedoms of association, religion, speech, and privacy enshrined in the First Amendment,” the groups argued.
Is… Is he straight up just planning to do Holocaust Part 2?
Because it really feels like he’s not even trying to hide his desire to recreate world war 2.
Maybe is dementia made him forgot about the white supremacist nazi and now it’s just nazi nazi
I can’t wait for the ADL’s statement explaining how this is fine and not real antisemitism.
Oh hai, ADL! Remember me? You said my particularly stiff wave wasn’t a Nazi salute. Hello! My heart goes out to you!
AIPAC and the ADL have been kissing his feet all this time because he let them murder Arabs in Gaza for a bit. But you better believe they’ll be absolutely shocked that joining hands with actual Nazis turned out to be a bad idea. Nobody besides literally everyone saw this coming.
I’d rather bet they knew the dangers of it the entire time. It’s pretty clear they WANT Jews in the rest of the world to feel unsafe where they are so that they consider migrating to Israel.
There was a moment in one of Bibi’s previous terms when Israel was experiencing a massive brain drain primarily to Germany. He published a letter in response in (I believe) Haaretz basically trying to say Germany (and by extension the rest of the world) was horribly dangerous for Jews and only Israel could keep them safe. His administration has said something similar more recently, iirc.
They’re fucking nazis and they’re doing violent nazi shit.
“ominous historical overtones” my ass. Call it what it is.
Why would they even have a record of this to begin with? I’ve never put my religion on a college or job application, and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen any applicable ethnicity question more than “white” or “not hispanic” otherwise. I suppose club and student group lists could theoretically expose some.
I’m curious what other types of lists they are demanding of UPenn.
