Earlier this year, activists alleged that Penn Museum was holding previously undisclosed remains of 1985 MOVE bombing victims.

The letter included signatures from 44 Penn affiliates at the time of publication and was made public on Nov. 20. 

Wednesday's message is Magill's third statement about the ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas. 

Speakers at the rally criticized Liz Magill’s most recent statement for not including any mention of the ongoing violence against Palestinians in the region or the toll of the conflict on Palestinian students on campus. 

Carrying their tribal nation's flags, posters, and a Natives at Penn banner, students marched from Gutmann College House to the Starbucks at 34th and Walnut Street beginning at 10 a.m. 

The new policy details numerous adjustments to how human remains are presented and used throughout the Museum and University settings.

Signatories include current and former trustees Robert Stavis, Andrew Heyer, and Marc Rowan; who is also chair of the Wharton Board of Advisors. 

The administrators' statement, which said the event was not organized by the University, was the first in recent memory to respond to criticism of a campus event.  

Additional renovations including the redesign of rooms, furniture, and aesthetics of the building have been completed.

Although the program is not directly affiliated with Penn organizations, its members overlap closely with the Black Student Association, which helps advertise the program to incoming freshmen.
