Fetterman, McCormick Joint Statement on Antisemitism Investigation

BRADDOCK, PA - Today, following Judge Gerald J. Pappert's ruling that approves the administration's effort to obtain information on Penn Jewish faculty as part of an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission subpoena, U.S. Senators John Fetterman (D-PA) and Dave McCormick (R-PA) released the following joint statement:

"No student or faculty member should face illegal discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or national origin. We have long spoken out against the despicable treatment Jewish students and faculty have faced since October 7, including on University of Pennsylvania's campus. We fully support the EEOC investigations into Title VII discrimination.

"Both our offices will continue to monitor how this case plays out in the courts. Both our priorities are ensuring privacy protections are upheld and perpetrators of illegal discrimination are brought to justice."
