[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes my brain hurt. Appallingly one dimensional.

Penn has incredible expertise, energy, and fantastic interdisciplinary studies. It also was founded on noticeably more progressive values, and has lived and leaned into those values through time.. Whether or not the apprenticeship program for former slaves counts as the founding of the school, Penn admitted Jewish students and other minorities well before others, and was knocked for that in the competing academic circles as "less than."

Here is a dissertation link that looks at that.. Another interesting study would be a famous title by Digby Baltzell, who coined the term WASP, "Puritan Boston and Quaker Philadelphia."

This reads like some racist boomers' poor attempt at trolling. Please grow up. [/quote]

This truly picked up steam in the 60's. It has always been the most diverse Ivy league, and it comes as no surprise to hear these dog whistle notions about the school.
