PHILADELPHIA (WPHL) — Elected officials gathered at the University of Pennsylvania on Wednesday to urge the school to reject President Donald Trump’s “Compact for Excellence in Higher Education” offer.
Senator, Councilmembers, State representatives, and members of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus all spoke out regarding the president’s proposal.
On Thursday, the Penn President J. Larry Jameson announced in a statement to the community that the school would not be moving forward with the President’s proposal.
“At Penn, we are committed to merit-based achievement and accountability,” said Jameson. “The long-standing partnership between American higher education and the federal government has greatly benefited society and our nation. Shared goals and investment in talent and ideas will turn possibility into progress.”
