President Liz Magill’s remarks at the stated meeting of the Trustees
For nearly 300 years—we are looking forward to our 268th Commencement in June—Penn has created knowledge, shared it for good, and educated the next generation. With everything I have, I believe in the power and importance of our mission. It must continue, and it will continue. But this is a dark and difficult time for the world. And it is a dark and difficult time for Penn.

President Liz Magill and Provost John L. Jackson Jr. said, ‘In these first hours following the release of these rulings, we have two messages. First, we are studying the Court’s opinion to ensure that we admit students in compliance with the law. Second, we remain firm in our belief that our academic community is at its best when it is diverse across many dimensions.’
