As of publication, The Daily Pennsylvanian identified four separate lawsuits filed by Penn graduates that allege the University was negligent in implementing adequate cyber security measures. 

In the Nov. 4 email, Joshua Beeman — the interim vice president of information technology and interim chief information officer — wrote that Penn is still investigating the “nature of the information” obtained in the breach.

The complaint alleged that as a “result of UPenn’s negligence and insufficient data security, cybercriminals easily infiltrated Defendant’s inadequately protected email accounts” and accessed personally identifiable information.

If the strike authorization vote passes, GET-UP’s bargaining committee will have the authority to call a strike at any time.

A University spokesperson wrote to The Daily Pennsylvanian that the investigation has been referred to law enforcement and the FBI as Penn investigates a “breach of data of select information systems.”

The report follows a series of mass emails sent on Oct. 31 to individuals across the University from accounts linked to the Graduate School of Education.

The Nov. 2 event commemorated Black Wharton’s decades on campus and was attended by student leaders of the organization’s subcommittee.

Last week, SP2 initiated the layoff process in a move that Bachman’s email characterized as a “painful decision.”

The emails — which appeared to be sent from a variety of individuals linked with Penn GSE — were addressed to the Penn community and contained criticisms of the University’s security practices and institutional purpose. 

The partnership was announced on Oct. 30 by Penn President Larry Jameson and Pennsylvania’s Chief Transformation Officer Ben Kirshner and aims to guide how Pennsylvania uses artificial intelligence to improve public services and support responsible innovation.

The Daily Pennsylvanian compiled 10 key administrators who are responsible for many of Penn's most consequential decisions — from academic initiatives to addressing new federal policies.

Wharton is expected to begin occupying the building within the next 18 months.

Until Friday, Penn was the only university that had declined to sign the compact but did not publicly disclose its response to the government.

The Oct. 15 meeting brought together various unions at Penn who urged University administrators to respect workers’ rights to organize. 

The brief accuses Penn and the district court that dismissed the lawsuit of ignoring a “hostile educational environment” for Jewish students.

The messages marked a higher level of transparency with the University's stakeholders in comparison to Penn's prior dealings with the government — including its July resolution with the Department of Education.

The agenda for the Oct. 22 meeting in Houston Hall included the proposed renaming of the “Committee on Diversity and Equity” to the “Committee on Belonging” — which would require a change to the Council bylaws.
