Conor Murray, former DP news editor, reflects on his four years at the DP and the difficulty of burning out doing something you love.   

The University stands to benefit from Wilson's empire of biotechnology companies, which have received hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital financing. 

Despite numerous complaints to multiple University offices over at least the past decade, employees said nothing has changed. They allege Penn has turned a blind eye to the abusive work environment at GTP, failing to hold the moneymaking program and its director, Jim Wilson, accountable.

Penn currently has a positivity rate of 1.11%, a vaccination rate of 97% among faculty and undergraduates, and no classroom transmission has been found.

No University buildings have sustained major damage, though some buildings experienced dripping windows and wet basements.

The remains were held by Penn professors for decades and were used by Penn Anthropology professor Janet Monge in an online Princeton University course, which sparked significant backlash.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the University suspended dean's list awards to keep academic policies consistent with the previous year, in which Penn also adopted an extended pass/fail grading system.

Penn Museum and the University issued an apology for their "unethical possession of human remains" in a Monday evening statement.

Only seniors who have participated in Penn's asymptomatic testing program this semester and who have not had housing or access to campus revoked because of a Campus Compact violation will be eligible to participate.

If trends do not reverse, the University will move to Campus Alert Level 3: Safer at Home on the University's four-level alert system as early as next week.
