More than 900 UPenn faculty opposing influence by trustees, donors, after Magill resignation
Fox News
More than 900 faculty at the University of Pennsylvania signed a letter opposing influence from trustees and donors following Liz Magill's resignation.
"The current efforts of some members of the broader Penn community to reverse our longstanding governance structure threatens the freedom of the faculty to conduct independent and academically rigorous research and teaching," the letter states. "Penn’s academic excellence is built upon decades of shared governance in which the faculty play a central role in crafting policies around teaching, research, and all other aspects of our University’s academic mission, grounded in the principles of academic freedom and open expression."
