April 27 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Monday paused his decision forcing the University of Pennsylvania to provide a federal civil rights agency with information on Jewish students, faculty and campus groups as part of an investigation into allegations of antisemitism.
• U.S. District Judge Gerald Pappert in Philadelphia agreed to stay his March 31 decision while UPenn appeals.
• The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is probing UPenn's response to campus protests over the Israel-Gaza conflict.
• The Ivy League school and some of its students and faculty say providing "lists of Jews" involved in campus groups violates privacy and civil rights.
• The case is part of the Trump administration's broader scrutiny of schools that it says promote "woke" ideologies.
• Pappert on Monday said there was no harm to the EEOC in pausing his ruling until the Philadelphia-based 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals weighs in.
• A UPenn spokesperson said the university will proceed with its pending appeal of the March 31 decision. The EEOC did not respond to a request for comment.
