Federal Court Blocks Order for UPenn to Hand Over Jewish Employee List

Original: Federal Court Vacates Decision Ordering UPenn to Turn Over List of Jewish Employees to Federal Government

A federal court has vacated a decision that would have required the University of Pennsylvania to turn over a list of its Jewish employees to the federal government. The ruling ends, for now, a controversial demand criticized as invasive and discriminatory. The ACLU of Pennsylvania highlighted the decision, and civil liberties advocates are welcoming the court's reversal as a defense of employee privacy and religious freedom.

Why now: A court just reversed an unprecedented federal demand for a university to identify employees by religion, raising major privacy and civil rights concerns.
