The coronavirus. We’ve all heard about it. The latest strain that was first detected in Wuhan, China on Dec. 12 has spread far and fast. But spreading even faster than the coronavirus is widespread misinformation about the disease. Small facts are sensationalized into eye-catching stories and uncertain details into unquestionable facts, adding to the growing wall of fear. It’s this uninformed panic that encourages baseless anti-Chinese sentiment and discrimination. The coronavirus is a serious health crisis, but we can’t use it to drive us towards hatred and fear. We need to remain well-informed throughout the situation and recognize how to separate a health epidemic from the country and culture where it originated.

International undergraduate applicants and applicants to the College of Liberal and Professional Studies at Penn face a major disadvantage. Unlike other undergraduate applicants, their financial need affects their chances of admission to the University.

When the spire of Notre-Dame Cathedral caught fire last month, Le Monde and other news outlets were quick to quote a passage from Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel, Notre-Dame de Paris (known to Disney fans as The Hunchback of Notre Dame). The French novelist’s lines seemed prescient, even prophetic: “All eyes were raised to the top of the tower. What they saw was extraordinary. On the top of the highest gallery, higher than the central rose-window, rose a great flame between the two bell towers with swirls of sparks, a great, ragged, furious flame, from which at times the wind would snatch a strip into the smoke.”
