George Honig | It was a mistake to send in the police to end the encampment
(14 hours ago)
As an alumnus of Penn, I received communication from the University a few days ago regarding the removal by Penn Police in riot gear (with the assistance of the Philadelphia Police Department) of the encampment of students protesting Israel's violations of the human rights of Palestinians in Gaza. The University's actions have not been fair or even-handed to these students, and I believe the administration is on the wrong side of history.
Letter to the Editor | To DP reporters & photographers, we take you seriously
(05/11/24 12:50am)
I often teach capstone research courses and supervise honors theses for the health & societies major. Some of my students use historical methods to answer their research questions. Occasionally, a student asking a historical question will explore The Daily Pennsylvanian's archives. My students have experienced surprise, delight, and sometimes shock when combing through old DP articles and learning about local, national, and international issues important to previous generations of Penn students.

Letter to the Editor | Response to Ann Farnsworth-Alvear and Zita Cristina Nunes
(05/10/24 8:38pm)
Professors Ann Farnsworth-Alvear and Zita Cristina Nunes urge us to read Penn’s Guidelines on Open Expression, arguing that it would be a perversion of those guidelines for the University to discipline students organizing the encampment on College Green, or to take any measures to end the encampment other than negotiation with the protesters. I have taken their advice and read those Guidelines and find nothing that mandates negotiation as the only appropriate response by the University.
