Who We Are
We are faculty and staff at the University of Pennsylvania who believe that Penn has a responsibility to ensure adequate funding for the Philadelphia public schools. Penn is the largest property owner in the city of Philadelphia, but as a non-profit institution, it pays no property taxes on its non-commercial properties. In other words, it contributes nothing to the tax base that funds Philadelphia’s public school system — all of this in a city whose schools are underfunded and facing deep budget cuts amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our Commitment
Penn should contribute to an Educational Equity Fund governed by the school district and city of Philadelphia. These would be payments in lieu of taxes (PILOTs) — a fraction of what Penn would owe if it were subject to property tax assessment. We commit ourselves to seeing our university pay its fair share.
Nearly every other Ivy League university already makes payments in lieu of taxes. Penn would be joining the ranks of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Cornell, and Dartmouth in recognizing its financial obligation to the community of which it is a part.
In What Sense Does Penn Owe the City?
This is not a matter of charity, but rather of justice. Penn’s tax exemption is predicated on the notion that it is a non-profit institution that exists to fulfill a public purpose, not a for-profit corporation that exists to accumulate capital. That distinction must be made meaningful. Today, Penn is the seventh-richest university in the country. Philadelphia, meanwhile, has the highest poverty rate of the ten largest cities in the United States. If Penn’s public mission is to have any meaning at all, the University must not be an exemplar or engine of urban inequality.
Yet the existing system of public finance ensures that Penn benefits from city services that it does not pay to maintain. Penn’s administrators, faculty, and staff rely on city schools, sanitation services, transportation, and other programs. Penn’s location in the city of Philadelphia is one of its defining characteristics that enables the University to attract faculty and students. When the University does not pay for the services and environment that make its work possible, other Philadelphians are left to make up the difference — or, city schools and other institutions simply go without. Penn has a duty to contribute to the city that sustains it.
Fulfilling this responsibility requires more than targeted programs that Penn designs and administers — whether it be competitive scholarships, academically based community service courses, investments in University City, or support for the Penn Alexander School. The city of Philadelphia needs functioning public services that serve all people and that are governed by democratic procedures. Penn, in turn, needs a city with robust democratic governance and the capacity to carry out government responsibilities. No amount of philanthropy or research-based intervention can substitute for public schools available to all, financed by all, and capable of being held accountable through public procedures. Penn’s practice of investing in its immediate neighborhood is not equivalent to meeting its obligation — as all residents do — to contribute to the public governance and institutions that serve every person in the city. Moreover, there is no need for Penn to choose between its existing community programs and its responsibility to make payments in lieu of taxes. Universities throughout the Ivy League have long shown that it is possible to do both.
Penn’s obligation is particularly urgent at a time when protests against racial inequality and injustice have engulfed our city and country. Every institution in our society must address the root causes of racial inequality, which include systems of public finance that enrich wealthy, private, majority-white institutions while underfunding public institutions and public services. Disinvestment in public services has exacerbated educational, health, and economic inequalities, with especially punishing effects on communities of color.
We know that Penn’s failure to pay PILOTs is only one cause of the critical inequalities in Philadelphia’s schools. The state of Pennsylvania has one of the worst funding gaps between low-income and high-income school districts in the country. But Penn’s paying at least some of what it would owe in taxes to the schools of Philadelphia will represent one important step in the fight for educational justice in Harrisburg and beyond.
What Difference Would an Educational Equity Fund Make?
Penn’s contributions would help the school district address pressing needs. The schools have long suffered from a teacher shortage and large class sizes. The district once had a library and certified librarian in nearly every school, but today has only ten certified librarians on payroll. The district is unable to provide every school with a full range of educational programs and supportive services, including full-time music, art, and physical education teachers; school nurses, psychologists, and counselors; and bilingual staff and teachers. These resources are far more available in surrounding suburban districts whose local tax bases provide superior funding for public education. Philadelphia students deserve the same resources and opportunities as their peers a few miles away.
Perhaps most urgently, the schools require major investments to protect the health and safety of students, teachers, and staff. The Philadelphia Inquirer has made us all aware of the deadly consequences of asbestos in the schools. Across the city, children may be compromising their futures when they sit down in classrooms, and adults are risking their health to teach, feed, counsel, and care for students. We would not work in these conditions nor ask our students to learn in them. The district estimates that it would cost $125 million to remove asbestos and lead paint from all areas occupied by students. Penn must do its part to ensure that Philadelphia’s children have access to high-quality public education in schools that are safe and healthy. This should be our commitment to our city, our children, and future generations at Penn.
