Pro-Palestinian faculty are suing Penn to stop the school from sending internal files to congress as part of an antisemitism probe.

Pro-Palestinian faculty at the University of Pennsylvania are suing the Ivy League school to stop it from sending sensitive internal files to a congressional committee investigating antisemitism on campus.

Pro-Palestinian faculty at the University of Pennsylvania have sued the Ivy League school to stop it from sending sensitive internal material to a congressional committee investigating antisemitism on campus — a probe they call “a new form of McCarthyism.” They have asked a federal judge to block the school from sending the information to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, whose inquests led the presidents of both Penn and Harvard University to resign after their testimony in December. No hearings have yet been scheduled.

The university, through a spokesman, declined to comment Wednesday on the lawsuit or specify which materials it planned to give Congress.
