With thousands of new students embarking on their Penn journeys this week, our university is getting thousands of stories deeper. The best advice I can give anybody this year is hear out as many of those stories as possible. 

Next academic year, we will take another leap toward improving our journalism and reaching our readers.

Last year, Donald Trump began blitzing the mainstream media at an unprecedented and alarming rate following his victory in the presidential election.

The DP Opinion board is proud to state that we are endorsing Jeb Bush for the Republican Primary. 

Taking reader feedback into consideration, we at the Daily Pennsylvanian are placing an embargo on writing about the following topics: Race Religion Political correctness The 2016 election Ted Cruz Amy Gutmann Amy Gutmann’s salary The administration Penn professors Penn students Drexel students LGBTQ issues Black Lives Matter Weather Controversy That one white guy who sits behind you in your Philosophy class and raises his hand too much.

This week, a four-part series in The Daily Pennsylvanian exposed the concerning state of housing facilities across campus. Besides drawing attention to the run-down and quite frankly, unsafe conditions that 54 percent of students live in, the series highlighted another equally troubling phenomenon: Facilities and Real Estate Services’ widespread lack of concern for people, including students and workers.

Facilities and Real Estate Services’ continual struggle to maintain quality living standards in campus buildings comes as no surprise to most students living on-campus.

Sexual assault is a problem at Penn that has recently been on everyone’s mind, especially after nearly a third of female undergraduates reported having been sexually assaulted.

On Friday, Penn announced that it will not revoke Bill Cosby’s honorary degree, after weeks of declining to comment on the subject.

On Sunday, a new round of high school hopefuls for Penn’s class of 2020 submitted their applications to the University through Early Decision.

It’s no surprise when Penn increases the cost of being a student every year. In February, the University typically announces a tuition increase, then spins it as only raising the tuition by less than 4 percent.

The mayoral race is pretty much over. Tuesday is Election Day and almost everyone knows that Jim Kenney, the Democratic candidate, is going to win.

For over a year now, Bill Cosby has been the subject of numerous accusations of sexual misconduct.

Penn should either end the useless bag-checking at our libraries or take the responsibility seriously – because right now, there is no point.

There aren’t many surprises in Career Services’ annual compilation of Penn undergraduates’ top employers.

We need to create a culture where taking a break is seen as a positive — because for many people it is. That starts with accepting this fact: A leave of absence is not a failure; it is a step toward success.

Earlier this week, The Daily Pennsylvanian reported that Penn President Amy Gutmann’s salary has reached an all-time high of nearly $3.5 million.
