Penn Becomes Sanctuary Campus
Tuesday the 30th President Amy Gutmann declared Penn a sanctuary campus. The statement came the day after she renewed her contract with Penn, becoming the longest serving president in university history. In addition to making Penn a sanctuary campus, the statement promised to continue advocating for immigration reform. This marks an important and historical step for the university, and we hope to see this progress continue to develop under Gutmann's new contract.
