Four years ago, Penn launched its “Second Year Experience.” The current seniors will be the first graduating class required to live two years on campus with a dining plan. With the recent campus power outage, flooding that displaced more than 50 students, unexpected discoveries in dining hall food, and questions about Penn’s treatment of its dining hall workers, it is time that we call this plan into question.
Campus discourse about antisemitism is escalating just weeks into the spring semester, with a Penn lecturer defending himself after his political cartoons were publicly denounced by Interim Penn President Larry Jameson.
Title IX — the federal law that ensured the fair treatment of male and female students — was enacted on June 23, 1972. Under Title IX, colleges are required to offer women an equal amount of sports opportunities as their male counterparts. In other words, the law marked the official beginning of many of Penn’s current varsity women's sports teams.

Whether attention-seeking or sincere, nearly every post aims to vilify the school we attend.
Over 100 years ago, women were finally able to don the Red and Blue and partake in varsity sports.

With Penn men’s lacrosse set to officially begin its season on Feb. 17 against Georgetown, a look at the full slate of games ahead of the team is in order.
“No, but where is your family really from?” A question I would hear too often after having already explained my heritage. Again, I would explain: I was born in and raised in Philadelphia. My mother was born and raised in Philadelphia and so was her mother. It was usually at this point I would disengage from the conversation. It felt pointless to try and convince others of the validity of my cultural background, especially when I did not believe in it myself.
Fun fact: According to a 2005 mandate, every high school student in Philadelphia needs to take an African American history course in order to graduate. Philadelphia is a major city that is predominantly Black, with a rich history of key activists and movements for equal rights spanning centuries.
