Rothman Institute employee donations to Romney Victory Total donations amounted to $811,200.

Of these donations, $518,000 were sent to the RNC.

$176,750 or 22% of these donations were from 12 Penn graduates at the clinic

ACA may be factor in donations ROTHMAN from page 1 donated to the Romney campaign because of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and what a victorious Romney “would try to institute as a replacement.”

Throughout this election cycle, Romney has promised to repeal the ACA. In addition, “[The Rothman employees] may expect Governor Romney to take a stronger position on tort reform,” she said in an email.

The ACA affects Rothman Institute as an orthopedic practice differently than other medical professions, according to health care management professor Mark Pauly.

“The emphasis in the ACA on primary care probably does

mean that surgical specialists like orthopedic surgeons will gain less from it than primary care specialists,” Pauly said in an email.

“The jury is still out on how the ACA will affect orthopedic clinics and medical specialists more broadly,” Swanson said. The ACA might affect the Rothman Institute due to the increase in insured patients, physician payment reform and greater quality reporting requirements, he added.

“The clinic’s physicians may be concerned about the proposed payment reforms and large near-term cuts in Medicare spending,” Swanson said. “The goal of eventually transitioning from fee-forservice to bundled payment is opposed by many physicians, in particular.”

Romney’s proposed tax policy might also appeal to the donors due to their likely income bracket, Swanson said.

“The incentives to donate to any campaign for the clinic are probably similar to any high income professional in other sectors,” health care management professor Robert Town said in an email.

Rothman employees have donated a total of $263,700 directly to Romney, ranking 18th in organizational donations directly to the candidate.

PIK prof Dorothy Roberts shares experiences At a talk on Wednesday, Roberts discussed reproductive rights, among other things

BY YOLANDA CHEN Contributing Writer Until a horrifying law case in Washington, D.C. 24 years ago, Professor Dorothy Roberts worked as a litigator in a big Manhattan law firm.

On Wednesday, around 40 Penn students gathered to learn about the journey of Professor Dorothy Roberts, a professor of Law and Sociology and Penn’s newest Penn Integrates Knowledge professor.

This is the sixth Center of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships preceptorial in the PIK series, which involves lectures

delivered by current PIK faculty.

The Penn Integrates Knowledge program recruits professors who have done unconventional and outstanding interdisciplinary research.

An acclaimed scholar of race, gender and law, Roberts recounted her reaction after hearing about the law case involving a pregnant woman suffering from lung cancer who was forced by authorities to undergo a C-section. The unconsented surgery had a horrible ending: both the mother and the unborn

baby died.

“I’ve never read anything that enraged me so much,” said Roberts. With a strong passion kindled to advocate for reproductive rights, she quit her job as litigator to work as a law professor. “Being in academia was the best possible way I could work to advance the social justice issues I was interested in,” she said.

Contrary to the status quo of conservative law schools at that time, Roberts did not write scholarly articles on conventional topics like corporate law.

Instead, her articles explored the deprivation of rights of pregnant drug addicts. In midst of incredulity from colleagues, the article shone through as a novel,

groundbreaking piece of work that was eventually published in the Harvard Law Review.

One thing Roberts took away was the value of pursuing one’s own passion. “If you are angry about injustice, and if you think you got a new perspective that illuminates a topic, I really encourage you to work on it,” she said.

Fueled by her determination to advocate for reproductive rights and race issues, Roberts continued on to publish numerous influential articles and books on the subject, drawing from both law and sociology.

With her recent appointment as Penn’s 14th PIK professor, Roberts looks to enrich her interdisciplinary work in law

and sociology in the university.

Through collaboration with geneticists and biologists, she hopes to think about new ways of explaining human genetic diversity.

In this ever-evolving society, the idea of integrating knowledge across different disciplines has indeed gained important standing in research and learning.

Wallace Genser, associate director for Undergraduate Research, hopes that the series will increase students’ “exposure to faculty use of different disciplines to address major pressing problems” in the world.

And some students present at the preceptorial did show keen interest in the field of integrated

knowledge research. “I’ve always thought the PIK program was interesting, and I wanted to hear from someone who has done research before,” Nursing freshman Andre Rosario said.

The challenging but rewarding process of weaving knowledge from different fields into a central area of study also appeals to students. “I really enjoy looking for information and piecing together patterns,” College freshman Alison Huang said.

At the end of the lecture, Roberts advised students looking to pursue public interest work to make use of their unique strengths. “There is so much injustice in this world,” she said.

“If you have a particular skill set to combat it, do it.”

MBA apps are ‘highly cyclical’ MBA from page 1 industries including technology, energy, retail and healthcare,” she said.

In addition, Kumar noted the appeal of the MBA program’s recently modified curriculum.

“I truly believe that our approach and curriculum really resonates with the interests and the needs of the generation of students who are coming to business schools,” she said. “We boast a fixed and flexible part of our curriculum. We find that students value having both a general management curriculum and also the flexibility to carve out their own individual experiences.”

In looking at some of Wharton’s peers, second-year MBA

student Matthew Alexander believes the decreasing trend in applications to full-time MBA programs is a result of the current state of the economy.

“MBA applications are highly cyclical,” he said. “It’s a function of what’s going on in the economy, especially for the industries that provide natural feeders into MBA programs like finance and consulting.”

While the size of Wharton’s applicant pool remained essentially stable this year, a small handful of other peer schools did see increases. For example, Cornell University’s Johnson Graduate School of Management and the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business saw 15 and 9 percent upticks, respectively.

Alexander considers Wharton’s recruiting efforts as a major factor in its applicant pool stability.

“In terms of why Wharton holds up, Wharton has done a good job of attracting candidates from less conventional areas,

like international students, that aren’t as susceptible to that same volatility,” he said.

Regarding the future trend in the number of applicants to toptier full-time MBA programs, Engineering sophomore Freddy Hernandez, who plans on pursuing an MBA after graduating from Penn, has an optimistic perspective.

“I think there will be an increase once the economy picks up,” he said. “Once it does, you’ll have that boom again when people want to go back to school in order to further their careers.”

Although the number of applicants to MBA programs may vary from year to year, Alexander expects Wharton to at least maintain the same numbers it has seen so far.

“I absolutely expect Wharton to continue driving application volume and interest,” he said.

“That’s just a function of the quality of the program and as more people learn about it, we’ll get more applicants.”

Green Fund project recipients Washing machines and worms — Penn’s Green Fund project has seen it all.

The Green Fund, which began in fall 2009, accepts ideas from the Penn community about ways to improve the University’s environmental performance and reduce campus emissions.

The initiative is headed by Penn’s Green Campus Partnership and receives its funding from Facilities and Real Estate Services. The fund has sponsored around 40 projects to date, and will be accepting applications for this year until Oct. 31.

“The expertise at Penn is astounding,” said Dan Garofalo, Penn’s lead environmental sustainability coordinator. “This is just one other way to get these ideas to the surface and get them implemented.”

In this special feature, The Daily Pennyslvanian profiles a number of past Green Fund recipient projects.

Pottr uck installed ozone wash i ng machines through a Green Fund grant. The project was approved in fall 2011.

By employing patented cold water technology, Pottruck anticipates reducing hot-water utility costs and cutting water consumption.

Penn is growing its own vegetables.

Penn Garden, funded in 2010, may be somewhat difficult to find, nestled in a spot at the corner of 40th and Walnut streets.

The garden partners with local environmental groups in Philadelphia and grows its own produce, which is then distributed among volunteers. Those who maintain the garden even conduct periodic tutorials on gardening for the general public.

Annenberg worm composting There is a lot more moving around in Annenberg than just students and teachers.

The Annenberg Public Policy Center has started a worm composting system to reduce the amount of waste from its kitchens. The project, also approved in 2010, aims to educate students and staff about the composting process.

According to Annenberg’s website, food and plant waste is tossed into a stacked tray system and decomposed by about 1,500 worms.

Green Acorn There is now a green, Penn-exclusive version of Zagat restaurant reviews. Green Acorn, a student-run certification program started at the end of 2009, endorses restaurants, food trucks and stores around campus that are environmentally friendly.

According to its website, a total of 12 businesses have received Green Acorn business certification, and several more are in the process of recertification.
