The Trump administration has dropped a subpoena that had demanded the University of Pennsylvania provide records on antisemitism complaints and a list of campus groups involved with Judaism.

For over a year, the administration had been pursuing these records. The subpoena, issued by the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights, sought information related to the university's handling of antisemitism and its interactions with Jewish student organizations.

This action by the Trump administration had raised concerns among civil liberties advocates and university officials about potential overreach and the targeting of religious or ethnic groups. The decision to withdraw the subpoena marks an end to this particular inquiry.
