Allison Santa-Cruz | Our academic freedom is at stake
(12/06/23 1:57am)
Free speech and academic freedom are at the core of a healthy university and, more broadly, a healthy democracy. It is increasingly apparent that one of the greatest perils of today is these rights, coupled with strong demand for political engagement, being curtailed by various forces. We have most recently seen this phenomenon with the demands that Liz Magill resign over her delayed and inadequate response to Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Israel and antisemitism on campus.

Sose Hovannisian | Penn students deserve more time off from their corporate-style academic calendars
(12/06/23 12:48am)
Each university that makes up the prestigious Ivy League has its defining factors. For Penn, I’d argue that this factor is money. 71% of Penn students come from the top 20% of wealthiest families in America, and the Philadelphia campus simply serves as a springboard for the further accumulation of their generational wealth. Even for those Quakers who don’t come from extremely privileged backgrounds, the opportunities provided through Wharton, the University’s boast-worthy alumni network, and the sheer prestige of its name on your resume are enough to put them on track to catch up, if not surpass, their already wealthy peers through careers in finance, consulting, or law.
