Two Penn students filed a lawsuit against the University on Dec. 5, alleging that the University has not sufficiently responded to antisemitism on campus.
WASHINGTON — House Republican leadership hosted a press conference on Tuesday with Jewish college students, ahead of Congressional testimony from leaders in higher education about antisemitism on college campuses.
WASHINGTON — In an exclusive interview with The Daily Pennsylvanian, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) reflected on Magill’s testimony before Congress and how the university presidents responded to hours of questioning.

In 2020, the Daily Pennsylvanian published an editorial encouraging students to look forward to 2021. After all, at that time, students were being welcomed back onto campus, a COVID-19 vaccine was on the way, and there were bountiful new opportunities for student activism beyond the 2020 presidential election.
I couldn’t tell you the number of times I have woken up in the past year to dozens of emails telling me that The Daily Pennsylvanian did something shameful or wrong.
Last season, Penn softball finished second to last in the Ivy League when it came to both batting and pitching. Earlier this offseason, one of those issues was addressed with the hire of the program’s new head coach Christie Novatin, who has seen offensive success at every program she has worked at.
The University launched two initiatives to bring Penn community members into dialogue over shared meals and build a sense of campus connection.
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.
We are one month away from 2024, which means it is the moment when people look back on previous years and make goals for the new year ahead. It has now been almost four years since 2020, the historic year in which the world completely turned upside down. For the United States specifically, in addition to dealing with a global pandemic that highlighted disparities that persisted across various facets of society, an insisting reality had to be faced: institutional racism in the U.S.
The University City food scene has seen a variety of updates this year. Here’s all you need to know about restaurant changes as the semester comes to an end.
The Daily Pennsylvanian’s political coverage this year spanned from controversy with the Penn Biden Center to a Penn graduate being elected to Philadelphia’s highest public office.
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.
As we approach the holiday season, we are reminded that this is a time to be grateful. We should always be grateful for health, loved ones, food, and a roof over our heads. But one thing that we may forget to be grateful for is attending Penn. For starters, 17 million people in the United States are enrolled in college, but fewer than 1% of college students attend an Ivy or Ivy-Plus school. Attending a prestigious college is an amazing opportunity that we forget we have at times.
From the overturn of affirmative action to The Daily Pennsylvanian's reveal of a quiet restructuring of legacy admissions policies, Penn admissions was marked by change this year.
The hearing concluded at around 3:30 p.m. following closing remarks from Foxx.
Penn administration saw unprecedented change in 2023, including new leadership positions and initiatives throughout the year. However, the most significant event was the dual resignation of Penn President Liz Magill and University Board of Trustees Chair Scott Bok — marking the culmination of a leadership crisis at the University and continuing uncertainty.
The Middle East Studies Association expressed "dismay" with the University’s decision to deny progressive Jewish group Penn Chavurah's request to screen the documentary "Israelism," while also encouraging the Middle East Center director to resume his role.
These days, I can’t help but think about the movie "The Menu" when I go out to eat. Though my culinary reality is much less about the psychological torture of dinner guests and cold-blooded murder, I often contemplate what the movie reveals about the food service industry, the changing nature of tastes, and the grueling pressure for restaurants to innovate and keep up with diners’ demands.
