Update. The Trump admin is demanding a list of Jewish faculty, staff, and students at #UPenn. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/upenn-trump-jews-list Trump's #EEOC asked for the list last July. Penn refused, and the EEOC sued the university in November. What's new is that several groups just filed a motion in federal court to intervene in the lawsuit on the side of the university -- the American Association of University Professors (#AAUP, national and UPenn chapters), the American Academy of Jewish Research, the UPenn Jewish Law Students Association, the UPenn Association of Senior and Emeritus Faculty. From #StevenWeitzman, UPenn prof of religious studies and past member of its antisemitism taskforce: “Part of what sets off alarm bells for people like me is a history of people using Jewish lists against Jews. The Nazi campaign against Jews depended on institutions like universities handing over information about their Jewish members to the authorities.” #Academia #AcademicMastodon #Antisemitism #Trump #Universities #USPol #USPolitics

@petersuber@fediscience.org @academicchatter@a.gup.pe So many cowards. I understand when someone comes and puts a gun to your loved ones head or something and you cave to their demands, but these fucking college admins, department heads, ceos etc. are legally within their rights to tell the Trump admin to fuck off on so much of this stuff, yet they fold instantly at the slightest suggestion that there might be a breeze.

@petersuber@fediscience.org @academicchatter@a.gup.pe What could possibly go wrong with this? It’s not like anyone has ever made a list of Jews before and did anything bad.

@petersuber@fediscience.org @academicchatter@a.gup.pe Back in the day Nazi Germany was very happy with the fact that the city of Amsterdam had a well organized registration office. The Nazis asked the office to produce a list of all the Jewish people living in Amsterdam and they received the list a couple of days later. The rest is history, those Jewish people in Amsterdam became history. The lessons learned? Do not comply in advance, resist the oppressor and protect the vulnerable people in society.

@petersuber@fediscience.org @academicchatter@a.gup.pe hopefully all lecturers will sue the spineless fucking college admin for disclosing personal information without due course.

@petersuber@fediscience.org @academicchatter@a.gup.pe Holy Shit. I hope the unanimous response was “None of your effing business!” People need to make a big stink about this.
