FIRE College housing head made frequent sexist, off-color remarks

DAN SPINELLI City News Editor

For many staffers in College Houses & Academic Services, it was the latest in the long line of sexist and culturally insensitive comments from their boss, Martin Redman: the socalled “Africa comment.”

In October 2014, a group of college house deans met for one of their periodic meetings with Redman, the executive director of CHAS, where he briefed them on why resident advisors had seen their work-study grants unexpectedly cut by Student Financial Services.

The RAs were not actually supposed to have gotten work-study jobs, but some of them had mistakenly gone against protocol, including one particular RA who had apparently been sending the work-study money home to his family.

Attendees expected Redman to give the student, who is black, a break for

the honest mistake, and some spoke up in his favor.

What Redman said next floored those in attendance.

“Well, I’m not in the business of sending money back home to Africa.

Too bad for him,” Redman reportedly said in an account confirmed with seven employees who either attended the meeting or heard about his comments shortly after. Students had occasionally sent money home to their families, staffers later explained, but the manner in which Redman stated his thought was racially insensitive, they said.

Off-color remarks like these appear to be a staple of Redman’s tenure at CHAS and far from irregular. In interviews with nearly two dozen former and current house deans, faculty fellows and CHAS staff members, The Daily Pennsylvanian uncovered a pattern of continued disregard for SEE REDMAN PAGE 2

Study finds students with grants earn higher grades

Students who receive grants outperform students who take out loans JINAH KIM Staff Reporter

Wharton professor Peter Cappelli has some good news for proponents of free college: Loanfree college doesn’t just make students happier.

It seems to make their grades better, too.

In a recent study of 1993 university graduates, Cappelli and his co-author 2016 Wharton graduate Shinjae Won found that, even after controlling for other factors like family income, race or academic background before entering college, students who received only grants performed significantly better in college — with GPAs between 0.8 and 0.15 points higher than their peers.

“What we find is basically the opposite of what the literature on people getting financial aid suggests: even though they’re poorer ... people who got grants tended to perform better than people who didn’t [get financial aid], and people who got loans tended to do SEE GRADES PAGE 5

Pennsylvania is expected to be a key swing state in this upcoming presidential election. Many are pushing students to vote in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is a major swing state in the 2016 presidential election and throughout Penn’s campus, numerous advocacy groups have been urging students to switch their registration to the Keystone State.

The entire election could boil

down to Pennsylvania, according to election analysis from The New York Times, where Clinton currently leads Trump by 10 points per an Oct. 9 Marist College poll. That reality has emboldened Hillary Clinton’s campaign staff to swarm prospective voters with reasons to switch their voter registration to their college address.

Donald Trump’s recent remarks about women.

A week after former Utah governor and 1987 College graduate Jon Huntsman, Jr. said he would vote for Trump over Hillary Clinton, Huntsman called on Friday for Trump’s current running mate Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to take his place as the Republican candidate for president.

Trump, a 1968 Wharton graduate, is facing intense condemnation from fellow Republicans after the Washington Post released a recording of him boasting about seducing and forcefully touching married women. The leaked tape, which includes phrases like “Grab them by the p**sy” has worsened Trump’s tendency toward aggressive and lewd

comments about women.

A close call as Hurricane Matthew makes a stormy mark ELYAS TECLE

Two weeks ago, a tropical disturbance formed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Many forecasters were aware of its formation, but few put much thought into what it may become in just a week’s time.

Between Sept. 25 and 27, global computer models began showing what would become Matthew as a storm system that could threaten the United States, especially the Southeast. Forecasters such as myself began eyeing the disturbance in case it developed into a more serious threat. It did just that.

It took a couple of days for it to get organized as it moved westward in the Atlantic towards the Caribbean. The system then gained sufficient organization to be named Tropical Storm Matthew.

REDMAN

It was at this point that computer models were agreeing on the idea that this storm could reek havoc on the Southeastern United States. As it moved closer to the eastern Caribbean, Matthew rapidly became a hurricane and intensified, reaching Category 5 strength with 160 mph winds; the strongest a hurricane can become on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

Although, even though it was nearing the Continental United States, many forecasters such as myself were uncertain as to where Matthew would track.

Most models had it making its way up the Eastern seaboard, but where along the coast it would track could’ve had either devastating effects or little to no impact.

That variation of about 100 miles is what mattered most, but it was yet to be determined, which path would be taken. We did know that given how strong it was, Matthew was bound to destroy parts of the Caribbean, especially in Haiti.

As of today, over 840 people have been reported dead as a result of the wind, rain and storm surge from the storm.

To put it into perspective, estimated rainfall is about 20 inches.

If that was snow, on average, it would equate to 200 inches. Unfortunately, for them, the damage rivals that of the 2010 earthquake.

As Matthew remained a Major Hurricane, it began to move away from Haiti and towards the Florida coastline. It was then that meteorologists around the country came to realize that Matthew could very well be one of the most catastrophic tropical systems on record if it were to make landfall on the Florida coast.

However, the worst-case scenario never actually came to fruition. It came within peer miles of West Palm Beach and Daytona, but never actually made landfall until it continued its journey up towards South Carolina.

The impacts of Matthew were still significant with enormous sections of the Florida coast getting eroded and

After brushing up the Florida and Georgia coastlines, Matthew deteriorated into a Category 3, and eventually, a Category 1 storm as it made landfall on the shores of South Carolina. At this point, the most severe impacts would come in the form of rain for the Carolina’s as over a foot and a half of rain fell in some spots.

In fact, some of the rain we saw this past weekend was from Matthew.

The storm system is now in a post-tropical state meaning it has completed its tropical cycle and has become a standard low pressure system. It will continue its track out to sea and not back towards Florida as some originally thought.

whom were members of an underrepresented minority group, to participate in a special “360 review” administered through HR and managed by an independent consulting group, where their colleagues and family members are interviewed intensively about them.

The intrusiveness of the program, which solicits input from all directions of the organization about specific employees, sent staffers into a frenzy. After introducing the program in the spring, Redman announced in the fall that he intended to complete the program himself before any of the five staffers did it.

Dur ing an awkwa rd meeting where he publicly read the largely negative responses gathered during his 360 review, Redman shuttered the program, according to seven employees who attended the meeting. Four of the five people he initially picked for the program have since left Penn.

HR invited house deans to speak about Redman after the 360 flap and he ultimately attended a weeklong leadership training. His outreach to employees picked up after then, employees said, though for many, Redman had already exhausted their patience.

Whatever goodwill remained evaporated in April 2014 when Redman restructured the office in a move that eliminated the jobs of three longtime staffers in the CHAS central office: Sue Smith, Pamela Robinson and Leslie Delauter, who has since returned to Penn in the Office of Development and Alumni Relations.

The restructuring was a necessary professional move, employee sources said, to accommodate a change in philosophy at CHAS that divided houses into three types: freshman, four-year and upperclass.

To oversee these three types of college houses, Redman introduced three new director positions.

Longtime staffers were let go with close to no input from the rest of the office and blindsided with the news.

Smith, who had worked in CHAS since its inception, said in an email to Vice President for Human Resources Jack Heuer that she was informed of her termination in a meeting called “under the guise of hearing about a promotion for my assistant.”

Smith sent the email in July, “as part of the grieving process” of leaving Penn, and never received a response from Heuer.

She described her introduction to Penn as a new staffer in 1986 and described, point by point, the emotion of being let go in such an abrupt way from the place she loved.

“This type of stealth, ‘surprise’ dismissal has no place at such a great University. It’s not in the Penn spirit,” she wrote.

“Something as simple as wearing a Penn sweatshirt seems impossible now.”

OPINION I also know, in my own flesh...

GUEST COLUMN BY VALARIE SWAIN-CADE MCCOULLUM

MONDAY OCTOBER 10 2016 VOL. CXXXII, NO. 80 132nd Year of Publication COLIN HENDERSON President LAUREN FEINER Editor-in-Chief ANDREW FISCHER Director of Online Projects BRIELLA MEGLIO Director of Internal Consulting ISABEL KIM Opinion Editor JESSICA MCDOWELL Enterprise Editor DAN SPINELLI City News Editor CAROLINE SIMON Campus News Editor ELLIE SCHROEDER Assignments Editor LUCIEN WANG Copy Editor SUNNY CHEN Copy Editor NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor TOM NOWLAN Sports Editor WILL SNOW Sports Editor

A couple of days ago, I read an opinion piece in the DP by a wonderful, thoughtful student — Titus Adkins — who used his powerful voice to posit some queries to me and to other members of the Penn community. I commend Titus for the strength and passion in his piece. I also, with every core of my being, disagree with a number of his assertions.

As a child, and over and over through these many years, I read James Baldwin, who wrote, in 1966: “This means that I also know, in my own flesh, and know, which is worse, in the scars borne by many of those dearest to me, the thunder and fire of the billy club, the paralyzing shock of spittle in the face, and I know what it is to find oneself blinded, on one’s hands and knees, at the bottom of the flight of steps down which one has just been hurled.” My grandparents came to the United States

in the 1920s as partners to Marcus Garvey, from Jamaica, to work actively in the Black Nationalist movement. I have spent all of my years, in both my professional life, and as my personal passion, in active service to their legacy to foment permanent change — at Penn, in the city of Philadelphia, and in the nation, through ardent action.

I, and many, many, many others at this University, not only over these past, terrible hours but, indeed, for many years: students, faculty, administration and staff — have not only voiced our ardent, constant and active condemnation of the brutal killings of black and brown people, indeed, the brutal killings of all people who sought only to live their lives, and to be able to love those whom they love — only to be cut down, in the space of seconds — but we have also spoken out, and acted, to do absolutely everything

we could think of to provide comfort, care, compassion and support to all.

It happens that I am an African American woman, the mother of two Penn alumni, and the grand-

cause: “I also know, in my own flesh”, the ache of my heart, the constant throbbing of my breast, every time we call another name lost to violence.

I do agree with Titus on

Let us know exactly what else I, and we, can do to help better ensure that Penn, our home, feels safe for each of you.” mother of eight (including six grandsons and two granddaughters); it happens that I have devoted myself to actively caring about Penn and all of our students. Penn is my home also, and that is why I also have used my voice and work both to be critical, because I also want it to be better, but also, be-

another, important, point: action is the imperative, and I call on all of us to continue every single action we can think of that will foment change.

Baldwin, even earlier in 1960, wrote another phrase that has been seared into my soul: “One day, to everyone’s astonishment, someone

drops a match in the powder keg and everything blows up. Before the dust has settled or the blood congealed, editorials, speeches, and civil-rights commissions are loud in the land, demanding to know what happened.”

My own opinion, as someone who knows and is also living, in my own flesh, through these chilling and challenging times, is that I challenge us all to continue our activism, including activism to support our community. I expect that the editorials, speeches and commissions will continue, just as Titus’ thought-provoking piece challenged the community today. But other actions are imperatives: bringing people to caring resources, self- and community- care, daily affirmations of the worth and value of all, including everything possible to ensure that our University is a safe space for love, dissent, compassion,

All other columns, letters and artwork represent the opinion of their authors and are not necessarily representative of the DP’s position.

Two weeks ago I promised a disparaging NSO column. I’m lucky world events lined up so well.

Like most of you, I was shocked to read about the drama in the wake of Canada’s carbon summit last week: In response to a proposed universal $10 CAD tax per ton in 2018, Nova Scotia’s minister left the building.

The province’s government had hoped it would be spared the tax. However, the decision shouldn’t come as a surprise. Despite its investment in green energy, Nova Scotia has taken no steps to address its consumption of liquid fuels like gasoline and heating oil. Furthermore, the province continues to invite bids for offshore drilling ventures.

Nova Scotia Oil and Natural Gas markets this decision as a way to reduce local energy costs, but this is not true. Considering the high production cost of oil in Canada, a reduction in the

price per barrel is unlikely to occur and is against the interest of the local industry. In fact, OPEC is the group responsible for reduced prices. OPEC continues to flood the global market with cheap oil and then benefits from a superior profit margin at the expense of ventures in Canada, Brazil and Nigeria.

What then do Nova Scotia residents have to gain by supporting NSO-positive ballot measures? Though the notion of reduced energy costs is not true, residents do receive a relative tax break because of taxes collected from oil companies. However, a major reason behind recent NSO expansion compared to expansion in other oil-rich areas is extensive industry tax breaks. As a result, residents see only minimal return for putting their homes and the environment at risk. In short, NSO companies continue to profit in the province at the expense of the people who support

them.

For many Nova Scotia residents, their deal with NSO companies is characterized by deception. I am

reminded of the recent success of Brexit, where citizens of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union as a result of widespread discontent and a campaign that trafficked in misinformation. Specifically, a popular claim stating, ‘we send the EU £350 million — let’s fund our NHS instead’ was later shown to be wrong on both counts.

In fact, The Daily Pennsylvanian is giving me reason to believe that this intuition is correct and intentional deception is actually commonplace. Though I’m not under the assumption that all politicians speak the truth all the time,

or even most of the time, an article published just over a week ago denounced one of our presidential candidates as an abject liar who has perfected a system of mendacity. Not the one you’re thinking of. It states that the couple is inherently corrupt, embedded in an intractable web of lies yet somehow always managing to avoid justice. Of course, I was concerned. I don’t want to be abused in the same way as voters in Nova Scotia and the UK. Then I thought, is it the candidate who is deceptive or is it the person telling me about them? Among the numerous claims mentioned against the Clintons, only one has been shown to be true with a preponderance of evidence. When there are cases where intentional deception is so clear-cut, isn’t it a shame to use hyperbolic language to score political points in an opinion piece?

We should be working against the erosion of trust in the media by first not printing lies ourselves.

worse,” Cappelli said.

But some people would argue that student loan — in modest amounts — isn’t all bad.

“A modest amount of debt shows there’s skin in the game.

It invests you into the outcome,” said Jim Kessler, senior vice president for policy at the centrist Democratic think-tank Third Way. In a 2015 paper, Third Way and The Ohio State University professor Rachel Dwyer argued that a modest level of student loan debt — about $10,000 — actually improved graduation rates.

The question of whether student debt could actually be motivational and improve student performance was one of Cappelli’s hypotheses when he started his own study. But the results seemed to show the opposite.

Cappelli speculated that this effect could be due to a psychological phenomenon known as “reciprocity,” where the

perception of receiving a favor — like a financial aid grant — creates pressure to reciprocate by, in this case, working harder in school.

Some employers may have already begun trying to capitalize on connections between student debt and reciprocity.

Boston-based employer Fidelity announced in 2016 that it would begin offering a “perk” meant to decrease student loan debt, following in the footsteps of companies like Pricewaterhouse Coopers or Chegg, which have announced similar initiatives.

Even more than for employers, though, Cappelli’s findings have serious implications for schools and policymakers.

“The implications for policy here are straight-forward,” Cappelli and Won wrote in the conclusion to their paper. “The tendency in recent years to shift financial aid to loans may well come with a cost in terms of student achievement. The general notion that making students pay for their education will also make them take it more seriously and that this, in turn, will make them perform better should be

told the Salt Lake Tribune on Friday.

Huntsman, who ran for president in 2012 as a Republican, originally supported Trump and said the candidate was better-positioned than Clinton to take on the economic challenges facing the country, such as simplifying the federal tax code and streamlining regulations.

He also said Trump’s promise of anti-establishment reform would bring new voters into the Republican Party from beyond the party’s traditional voting bloc and could improve the GOP’s chances of defeating Hillavry Clinton’s broad support base.

“We’ve had enough intraparty fighting,” Huntsman told Politico in April. “Now’s the time to stitch together a winning coalition.”

Dozens of Republican politicians have denounced Trump’s fitness to serve as president, including several who are facing uphill reelection campaigns due to the damage Trump’s rhetoric has done to the Republican Party’s image.

The most recent national poll released by Quinnipiac University on Friday gave Clinton a five-percent lead over Trump, with 45 percent of respondents

COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Joining the long list of Republicans denouncing Trump is 1987 College graduate Jon Huntsman, Jr.

saying they would vote for the Democratic candidate compared to 40 percent for Trump.

Among women voters, Clinton outperformed Trump by 20 percent, with 53 percent of women respondents saying they would vote for Clinton compared to 33 percent for Trump, according to the poll.

Even Trump’s wife, Melania, in a rare public announcement, reprimanded her husband for his treatment of women.

“The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me,” she said Saturday in a statement released on the Trump campaign’s website. “This does not represent the man that I know.”

Trump himself explained the

tape’s contents as “locker room banter” from “many years ago.”

In a public apology on Friday posted on his campaign’s website, he tried to draw attention away from himself by comparing his words to former President Bill Clinton.

“Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course — not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended,” Trump said.

In a separate statement on Friday, Trump said he would be spending the weekend with Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) preparing for the upcoming presidential debate on Sunday.

body is also disproportionately composed of students from states where there is hardly a debate over which candidate will win. Outside of Pennsylvania, which routinely is the most popular home state for new students, the Class of 2019 consists of 314 people from New York, 251 from New Jersey and 202 from California. All three states’ electoral votes are expected to go to Clinton by a wide margin.

“This election will set the course of our country for generations to come and we at Penn have an opportunity to cast a ballot in a pivotal state in not only the presidential contest, but in a race that will determine the balance of power in the Senate,” Penn for Hillary said in a statement.

But Pennsylvania, often considered a swing state despite voting Democratic in the last six presidential election cycles, is tight this year The shifting demographics of the 2016 electorate make Pennsylvania more of a litmus test for Donald Trump, who trails rival Hillary Clinton among college educated white voters, who in past elections have not uniformly supported Democrats.

“This movement is changing the electoral map,” he said.

“States like Colorado and Virginia with a lot of college educated voters, who might in another year vote Republican, those states are harder for Donald Trump to win. That means that Pennsylvania is likely to be the tipping point state.”

The tipping point state means that if you rated all of the states from most pro Trump states to the most Clinton states, it’s likely that Pennsylvania would be right in the middle, which would grant either candidate the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the election.

Since Pennsylvania is more secure for the Clinton camp than other swing states, it’s unlikely that Clinton loses Pennsylvania and wins either Florida or Ohio or other states to make up for the necessary electoral votes.

In recent years, Pennsylvania has been shifting right in the political spectrum. Western Pennsylvania is driving the state’s rightward drift — once dominated by steel towns and union Democrats, the region has reveled in a fracking and natural gas boom that has more recently experienced a downturn and has revolted against EPA regulations.

However, Philadelphia and its well-educated, white-collar suburbs are still trending blue.

In 1992, Bill Clinton took 59 percent of the vote in the eight counties that make up the Philadelphia media market; in 2012, Obama took 63 percent. But the rest of the state accounted for 58 percent of all votes in 2012 and is trending red even faster.

There is also a tight senatorial race between Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and Democratic challenger Katie McGinty. McGinty holds a slight advantage currently, with a 50.1 percent chance of winning the election according to polling aggregator FiveThirtyEight.

Democrats only need to win five seats in the upcoming election to regain control of the Senate.

Hopkins says that people

NEWS 7

MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2016

should register to vote in whatever state where the election is most important to them, whether it’s federal, state or local.

“I think that the state in which people register to vote should depend on what elections they think are important and where they think their vote will be most decisive,” Hopkins said.

“If people are more interested in having a key impact in the federal races, on who wins the presidency and who controls the U.S. Senate, then registering to vote in Pennsylvania is a reasonable thing to do.”

Pa. Conference for Women features Penn prof. Adam Grant Grant encouraged attendees to “give and take” LAUREN SORANTINO Staff Reporter

While Penn students were on fall break, the largest personal and professional networking event for women in the tri-state area was held in Center City.

And Wharton professor Adam Grant delivered the keynote address.

The 12th annual Pennsylvania Conference for Women took place on Oct. 6 at the Philadelphia Convention Center. With over 9,000 people in attendance, this year’s sold-out conference boasted the best turnout in its history.

Though the majority of the attendees were women of working age, young girls in school un ifor ms, mother-daughter pairs, retired women and men made up a significant portion of the crowd.

The conference consisted of

speeches, smaller “breakout sessions” in which speakers addressed topics tailored specifically to certain groups and workshops on resume reviewing, digital brand management and networking.

Penn President Amy Gutmann is a member of the conference’s advisory board, which is primarily composed of the greater Philadelphia area’s most powerful women. She wasn’t the only Penn connection to the event.

Grant delivered the opening keynote address on Thursday morning and also spoke at a breakout session titled “Women, Work and Life: How to Give and Take.” The session centered on career advancement, especially for mid or senior-level professionals with significant experience looking for advice on professional skills and job advancement.

In this session, Grant spoke about how to contribute to others without sacr if icing

yourself. Using surprising studies and cases, Grant conveyed how to be generous without burning out and getting burned.

“Women feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to help other people, and they tend to be more giving than men and are at a greater risk for burnout because of it,” Grant said.

Other keynotes included soccer player Abby Wambach, actress and comedian Mindy Kaling, attorney Anita Hill and musician St. Vincent. In total, the conference featured more than 100 thought leaders and industry experts from across the country in the fields of business, philanthropy, health, finance, media and professional development.

This year’s theme was “The Power of Us: Amplify Your Voice.” The advice — “speak up” — was administered to the crowd a number of times in a variety of forms throughout the conference.

“Students seem to be most happy when they actually get to interact with the instructors,” he said.

On the topic of what Agarwal calls a “broken” educational system, Price had a milder stance. He didn’t call it “broken,” but did mention certain flaws that make it seem out-

CHASEN SHAO Staff Reporter

Last week, Penn hosted the Third Annual Learning with MOOCs Conference, bringing together leaders in the mass learning system.

MOOCs — Massive Online Open Courses — were created in 2008, and since then, various universities have started offering free courses. Through a grant from the United States Department of State, Penn has also begun offering MOOCs. Provost Vincent Price and CEO of edX, Anant Agarwal, were among the panelists who discussed the development of the MOOCs and their visions for the future at the conference on Oct. 6 and 7.

Agarwal described MOOCs as a response to what he believes is a broken current educational system. He calls his solution the “unbundling” of the four-year educational system provided by universities and colleges.

“What’s magical about four years on a campus?” he asked.

Agarwal wants to see a more diverse learning system, blending MOOCs at schools like Penn and “high-touch” in-class learning for courses like robotics.

Gradually, the principle of online learning is beginning to seem less and less foreign.

As early as 2013, the American Council on Education supported such action for the widespread integration of learning with MOOCs.And according to U.S. News and World Report, online degrees are rapidly increasing in recent years, and the acceptance of these degrees are becoming more common.

Ironically, it’s the for-profit online courses provided by schools like the University of Phoenix that are suffering in both reputation and success rates after graduation.

CEO of edX Anant Agarwal praises the possibilities of MOOCs, Massive Online Open Courses, and believes they are the solution to renovating the current educational system.

MOOCs is changing, thanks to the implementation of updated technologies to improve the legitimacies of the courses taken online.

“Part of the stigma [relating to online courses] is due to the lack of technology in the early years of the 2000s,” said John Cotton, a MOOCs instructor and manager of staff development in the English Language Programs.

Online course providers now have the ability to actively maintain the good standing of their courses. According to Cotton, the typing-speed recognition software that identifies each person based on how they type is a key component of keeping fraud away from these courses.

Like Agarwal, Provost Vincent Price raved about the transformative qualities of MOOCs. He believes that the “unbundling of the clock” is necessary for effective revision of the educational system and that introducing more MOOCs

allows for more focus on research, where “the real learning takes place.”

Trump recording creates backlash among campus activists

Students call it normalization of rape culture NICOLE RUBIN Staff Reporter

Donald Trump’s recorded statements about groping and kissing women without their consent drew a swift, condemnatory reaction from campus sexual prevention advocates and political groups on Sunday.

In the 2005 recording, which the Washington Post acquired and published on Friday, Trump said to Billy Bush, then of NBC’s Access Hollywood, “When you’re a star, they let you do it,” in reference to groping women and said he “grabbed them by the p**sy.”

Penn for Hillary posted a Facebook status that said, “Trump’s casual endorsement of sexual assault is horrifying beyond belief.”

The group added. “A president is supposed to be a role model for children, but rather than condemning rape culture, Trump actively perpetuates it.”

Trump told the Washington Post that the video was just

“locker room banter.”

College junior Amanda Silberling, one of the leaders of the “We Are Watching” protest movement that previously plastered a suggestive email from off-campus organization OZ, said Trump’s words normalize rape culture.

“When someone participates in private conversations where they talk about groping women, they are normalizing the idea that women are sexual objects,” she said.

Abuse and Sexual Assault Prevention Chair and College senior Isabella Auchus added, “Trump’s comments demonstrate a blatant disregard for consent. He sends the message that wealth and status exempt him from treating women with the respect that everyone deserves and that he can ‘do anything’ he wants regardless of consent.”

A spokeswoman for the Division of the Vice Provost for University Life did not make either the Penn Women’s Center or the Penn Violence Prevention office available for comment for this article.

Trump’s comments and the

conversation it sparked about sexual assault and rape culture align with a variety of local and national initiatives about the issue.

The White House has approached campus sexual assault prevention through the “It’s On Us” movement, which, according to the White House website, “seeks to reframe the conversation surrounding sexual assault in a way that inspires everyone to see it as their responsibility to do something, big or small, to prevent it.”

The program even made a video featuring Vice President Joe Biden and actor Adam DeVine, in which the two go undercover at a college party to share their message about sexual assault and ask everyone to “take the pledge.”

In response to the Trump video, Biden tweeted out: “The words are demeaning. Such behavior is an abuse of power. It’s not lewd. It’s sexual assault. –Joe” The effort on campus to reduce campus sexual assault and rape culture can be seen by the variation of groups on campus that

College senior Syra OrtizBlanes, who is the events chair of

Penn V-Day and a member of the We Are Watching campaign, said Trump’s history of misogyny is nothing new, but his reference to “locker room talk” is the embodiment of modern rape culture.

Penn falls to Columbia in stormy overtime loss W. SOCCER | Columbia

breaks scoreless tie SAM ALTLAND Sports Reporter

On a day when everything else in the Ivy League went right for Penn women’s soccer, one moment was enough to break the spirits of the Red and Blue.

After battling league-leading Columbia for 99 scoreless minutes on a rainy night at Rhodes Field, Penn let the game slip through its fingers by conceding a goal late in overtime, squandering an opportunity to rise to the top of the conference.

With both Harvard and Princeton dropping valuable points this weekend, the Columbia (6-4-2, 3-0-0 Ivy) contest took on even greater significance for the Red and Blue (6-3-1, 1-2-0), as a win against the Lions would put them in solid title contention.

In the first half, however,

field before punching the ball in himself to give the Red and Blue (2-2, 1-0 Ivy) a 7-0 lead right out of the gate.

Im mediately after wa rds, Tyrone Quarterman took a CCSU (1-4, 0-1 NEC) fourthdown fumble all the way to the 33-yard line, and Torgersen found Nicholas Bokun in the end zone for the junior’s first career catch, making a rout seem inevitable.

“Nick’s worked really hard; obviously it’s tough to replace Ryan Kelly and Ryan O’Malley who were here for years,” coach Ray Priore said. “He’s just gotta be himself; his attributes are a little different than what those guys can do, but being able to put him into the pass game can be crucial down the stretch for us.”

CCSU wouldn’t lay down flat, as the Blue Devils clawed back into the game behind a 62-yard touchdown from Jacob Dolegaga to K.J. Smith and an Ed Groth field goal.

But with the Blue Devils having cut the lead to four points, Penn kept its offense on the field for two straight fourth

neither team could do more than rattle the post. In the 10th minute, sophomore midfielder Allie Trzaska’s shot from 30 yards out caught Columbia’s senior keeper Allison Spencer wrong-footed, but the strike caromed of the crossbar and out of play.

And after an early miscue that almost put Columbia on the board, freshman keeper Kitty Qu made two spectacular saves in quick succession, denying forward Emma Anderson and parrying her shot off the post and away.

The first half also featured something that has become increasingly uncommon in recent games; a team outshooting Penn.

Columbia tallied five shots on goal to Penn’s two and was able to maintain positive possession, preventing the early attacking onslaught that has become a staple of Penn’s playing style.

“Unfortunately we gave them 45 minutes, and we just can’t do that in conference play,” Penn coach Nicole Van Dyke said.

downs and converted both of them, with the latter resulting in a beautiful deep ball from Torgersen to Christian Pearson for a 29-yard score.

The story was the same for Penn in the third quarter, as yet another fourth down conversion saw Tre Solomon run for a four-yard touchdown to stretch the Quakers’ lead to a gamehigh 18 points.

Overall, Penn conver ted all four of its fourth-down attempts while the Blue Devils went 0-for-4, allowing the Quakers to maintain their lead even as Dolegala racked up an impressive 341 yards in the air.

“I have all the faith in the world in our offense,” Priore said. “We’re only going to go for it if it’s a situation where we have the opportunity to convert, and I have all the faith in those guys.”

Penn’s offense stalled as the Quakers looked to kill some clock, but it had given an aggressive Penn defense all the cushion it would need thanks to Vecchio’s breakthrough.

The junior spearheaded a Penn defensive front that allowed a miniscule 22 yards on the ground, securing 2.5 tackles for loss in addition to

“This is the part of the season where we have to play our game, and we are a team that starts fast and we didn’t do that tonight.”

In the second half though, Penn seemed to shrug off some of the rust clinging to its offense, beginning to press the Lions more effectively. Penn’s outside backs sophomore Cami Nwokedi and senior Tahirih Nesmith in particular both began to get involved higher up the field as Columbia’s wide players began to tire, helping contribute to a 5-0 shot differential in Penn’s favor in the second half.

However, none of these attempts on net troubled the Lions, and as the rain began to fall with greater intensity, it seemed clear the game would need overtime to reach a resolution.

A Penn corner kick and subsequent scramble in the box with less than 30 seconds left in the half almost changed that, but a decisive block and a few desperate headers were enough for the

his first career sack. Having missed the majority of 2015 due to an ACL tear, Vecchio emphatically let the nation know that he’s back and ready to wreak havoc in the trenches all season.

“You know when the injury happens, you don’t really know what your future looks like. ... Everyone talks about how crucial your ACL is and how that injury changes your life,” Vecchio said. “It just gave me a different outlook on the game. I go onto the field each time and I’m just so appreciative that I get another chance after putting in all the work in rehab.”

Once Tayler Hendrickson fell on a fourth-down CCSU fumble with 7:30 to go, the Red and Blue were able to cruise to victory.

“They fought hard, took advantage of some early turnovers on our behalf ... but I was really pleased with our defense coming to play and not allowing touchdowns,” Priore said.

“It’s something to build on, but now we’re fully into league play and obviously things are for real, so we have to put our best foot forward and get to work.”

Columbia defense to clear the danger and send the game to extra time.

The first overtime period was unremarkable for eight minutes, as both teams seemed worn down and neither did anything to truly trouble their opponent’s defense.

Then, with less than a minute left in the first overtime, Penn conceded a corner, which Lions’ junior forward Natalie Neshat won a free header on. Qu managed to get a hand to it, but the pace was too much, and the Columbia bench stormed the field, having started Ivy League play 3-0 for the first time in program history.

“We paid the price,” Van Dyke said. “I felt like we got better as the game went on and we outplayed them in the second half, but we made a mistake. We were going at them but in that key moment we made a mistake, but that was no way indicative of the way we played tonight.”

cut into Penn’s lead with six minutes left, the Midshipmen halted the Quakers’ next offensive drive and regained possession at their own 32-yard line with 3:35 left on the clock.

Methodically moving the ball down the field, Navy tied the game up 23-23 on a three-yard touchdown pass with just 24 seconds left in the game. All the Mids needed was one extra point to escape Philadelphia with the win.

After a “running into the kicker” penalty negated a Navy missed extra point attempt, senior kicker Jules Murphy lined up for a second try. He was still able to get the kick off cleanly, but pressure from the Quakers was just enough to force the ball a little wide of the uprights.

Suddenly, against all odds, Penn and Navy were facing an overtime period to decide the game. The Quakers got possession first, starting at their opponent’s 25-yard line as according to CSFL overtime rules.

Four quick plays later, senior safety and running back Robert Diorio powered in a two-yard touchdown run for the score and the lead. Unfortunately for the Quakers, Penn’s subsequent extra point attempt was blocked by the Mids for the second straight time.

Up by just six points, the Red and Blue knew allowing another Navy touchdown would almost definitely mean a loss. And after Navy moved the ball all the way to Penn’s four-yard line, the Quakers knew they would need to make the defensive stance of a lifetime. Penn did just that, forcing and recovering a fumble on Navy’s next run to

“It was real special,” McCurdy said, “I mean to beat both of [the service academies] in the same year, something that hasn’t been done since 2000, to be a part of that history, it’s an honor and a privilege. I’m so happy right now.”

Not only was the win historic, but it also makes Penn the heavy favorite to finish the season as champions — something they haven’t been to able to do since 2010.

“We’ll enjoy the win tonight and get back to it tomorrow,” McCurdy said.

With games against Chestnut Hill, Cornell and Post left, the Red and Blue have gotten over the most difficult humps of their season.

They stand as the only team undefeated in the CSFL — the Quakers’ title hopes rest entirely in their own hands.

Despite solid efforts, Penn suffers weekend sweep VOLLEYBALL | Quakers

lose twice in five sets MOSES NSEREKO Contributing Reporter

Within 24 hours, Penn volleyball played 10 grueling sets in New York.

But it was to no avail, as the Quakers fell in two tight matches against rivals Cornell and Columbia. “We played both matches really tough,� coach Kerry Carr said. “When it gets to the overtime set, and you’re on the road, it just gets a lot tougher.�

The Quakers’ campaign began at Newman Arena against the Big Red (6-8, 1-4 Ivy). The start seemed promising for Penn (7-10, 2-3); after holding a 12-point lead, a strong kill from junior Kendall Covington helped close out the first set, 25-17.

In the second set, Cornell upped their game and the two teams exchanged the lead eight times. But Cornell was stronger in the closing moments, recording three successive kills to close out the set, 25-23.

They continued their good play into

the fourth set, overcoming a sevenpoint deficit to win, 25-21.

Entering the fourth set, the Red and Blue faced a must-win situation.

And, in a test of resiliency, Penn responded. “It never felt like we were losing even though we were behind,� sophomore outside hitter Courtney Quinn said. “We were like don’t even look at the score, let’s just play volleyball.�

Jumping out to another sevenpoint lead, the Quakers controlled the fourth set. Sophomore Taylor Cooper slid the fourteenth kill of the set past the defensive line to close out a 25-17 set. The teams would play five.

But Penn’s comeback fell short.

Trudy Vande Berg’s squad quickly opened up a 6-1 lead in front of the home crowd. A 0.500 hitting percentage in the final set helped Cornell cement a 15-9 finish.

Still, some of Carr’s players had a banner day. Quinn recorded a career high 22 kills and 19 digs, while junior Sydney Morton posted her own double-double, with 45 assists and 12 digs.

“When you lose a five-set match, it’s all about staying positive,� Carr said. “That match can go either way.�

Penn’s chance at redemption came the next day against a strong Columbia squad. From the outset it was another tight contest, as the two teams split the first two sets.

In the third set, both teams had their opportunities. After trailing by six points early, Sydney Morton used creative dumps to help the Quakers draw even. As the closing moments arrived, Caroline Furrer recorded an ace to give her team a set point. And Penn converted, capping off a three-point run to win the third set, 25-23.

Quinn commented on how common tight sets have become in the Ivy League. “It’s just what has become typical Ivy League play,� the Texas native said. “All the teams are so even that it could really go either way each time.�

Middle blockers Cooper and Covington did well to keep Columbia (9-6, 4-1) out of system, posting 11 and nine kills respectively.

Unfortunately, this match wouldn’t go Penn’s way. The freshman pairing of Chichi Ikwuazom and Grace Campbell led a stronger middle attack for the Lions. After a comprehensive fourth set, Columbia pulled away in the decisive set, 15-11, committing only two errors.

When asked, Carr praised her team’s versatility. “We can change our hitters around, we can change our passers around,� the 19th-year coach said. “That’s something that a young team has to get used to and I think we’re inches away from being able to do it consistently.�

The Quakers will take two intense matches under their belt as they prepare for a home series against Yale and Brown. Friday and Saturday’s matches at the Palestra highlight Penn volleyball’s Dig Pink Weekend. Fan donations will help raise proceeds to benefit breast cancer research.

In Ivy League volleyball, the margins have become so small.

Carr and her team will look for those extra inches to help things fall their way.

scores twice vs. Temple TYLER SHEVIN Contributing Reporter

Trying to score against the Quakers this week? Good luck.

Penn field hockey defeated Dartmouth and Temple, both in shutouts, this weekend. The Red and Blue continued their successful season, mixing stellar defense with effective scoring plays, as junior goalkeeper Liz Mata did not allow a single goal in either game.

On Friday, Penn (8-3, 2-1 Ivy)

visited Dartmouth (3-8, 0-4) and won a 1-0 thriller in double overtime. Penn came in confident after last year’s 3-2 overtime victory against the Big Green.

Although Penn controlled the game throughout, with 27 shots compared to Dartmouth’s seven and 11 shots on goal compared to five, the game remained scoreless through regulation and the first overtime period. Freshman back Alexa Schneck broke the tie with a game-winning shot to the left post. “Everyone was just going crazy. The smile on her face was usual; she’s a very happy kid.

I think it meant a lot to her and

she’s still on cloud nine, I can tell,� junior attack Alexa Hoover said. “That’s good for her, as a freshman, that’s definitely a big confidence booster.� “She played a great game, from start to finish, so I can’t say I was surprised that she was the one who had the winning goal for us,� coach Colleen Fink added. “I think that was kind of a nice reward for her for playing as hard as she did. She generated a lot of offensive scoring opportunities for us.�

Goalkeeper Liz Mata had five saves, protecting the net for all of regulation and both overtime periods.

“I think really it’s our composure and mindset coming into the game,� Mata said. “We come in thinking, ‘we are not going to get scored on.’�

The Quakers have experienced multiple long games this year with four overtime games, including three double-overtime contests. “We just tell them to not worry about the results and play as hard as they can and live in the moment, not worry about mistakes, because they are going to happen. And just to play as smart and as strong as possible,� the seventh-year coach said. “It shows that we are very resilient and never want to give up. We are going to keep pushing ourselves to the very end,� Hoover added.

On Sunday, Penn hosted Temple (5-9, 2-2 Big East) at Ellen Vagelos Field and won easily in a 3-0 shutout. Temple has controlled the series historically, leading 26-11 coming into Sunday. However, Penn dominated throughout the contest.

Senior midfielder Elise Tilton struck first for the Quakers, scoring just six minutes into the game.

Freshman back Alexa Schneck scored a double-overtime winner to break a scoreless tie vs. Dartmouth in Hanover Friday.

Hoover added two goals in the second half, both assisted both by junior attack Rachel Huang and sophomore center back Paige Meily.

In the second half, the Owls had several opportunities to score, but Penn’s defense remained tough and prevented Temple from capitalizing. “I think defensively we have

With the win, Penn improved to 4-2 at home. Penn next faces Columbia at Vagelos Field on Friday.

Fink said during practice this week, the Quakers will focus on baseline defense and scoring at the top.

Delaware by a wide margin, 16 to seven.

With the bad taste of the weekend’s loss fresh in their mouths, the Quakers will have a full week off before they head to Dartmouth next Saturday. The Big Green is coming off a win over Yale and is tied for first in the conference. “For us to be successful, we have to play on our front foot; we have to be the aggressor,� Fuller said of his

team’s adjustments going forward. “[Saturday] I felt like we were slow and reactionary.�

The Red and Blue still have five conference games remaining; with Neumann playing superbly, their offense is capable of doing big things, as the win over Cornell demonstrated.

But, as this weekend showed, the Red and Blue are also not immune to crushing defeats.

non-conference tuneup

COLE JACOBSON Associate Sports Editor

Considering Penn’s fall break leading to a paltry home crowd, a return to non-conference play after an emotional league win and the fact that the Red and Blue shared no history with their opponent, there were plenty of reasons for Penn football to sleep on this weekend’s showdown against Central Connecticut State.

But inside the Quakers’ locker room, there was only one focus: just win.

Behind three total touchdowns from quarterback Alek Torgersen and a breakout performance from defensive lineman Louis Vecchio, the Red and Blue did just that, taking control early and holding on for a 28-16 win.

“Going in and then out of league play is not the easiest thing because you’ve got all the excitement coming out of Dartmouth, but the goal was just to maintain focus,” Torgersen said. “We’re not looking at anything besides ourselves, so we were just trying to do our job the best we could.”

Penn wasted no time demonstrating that there would be no hangover from last weekend, as Torgersen marched the Quakers’ no-huddle attack down the

Quarterback Mike McCurdy’s big game helped Penn to its first Army/Navy sweep since 2000.

The Quakers knew they’d have to go after Navy for a full 60 minutes if they were going to come out with a win. What they didn’t know was that it would actually take a little bit more than that.

Undeterred, Penn sprint football battled on, defeating the Midshipmen, 29-23, in a dramatic overtime finish for the ages.

It didn’t always look good for the Quakers (4-0), though. In fact, the game couldn’t have started off worse, as the Mids returned the game’s opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown.

Beating Navy (3-1) was a tall order from the start, but overcoming a seven-point deficit seemed near impossible. Instead, the Red and Blue rallied.

“We were not leaving the field unless we won the game,” Penn coach Bill Wagner said.

Behind the leadership of senior captain and quarterback Mike McCurdy, the Quakers stormed back.

McCurdy — who finished the day with 265 yards through the air and 74 more on the ground — led Penn all the way to a 23-14 lead midway through the fourth quarter.

Sophomore wide receiver Aidan Kelly was also instrumental during that stretch, finishing with 110 receiving yards.

Even as time wound down, the Mids offered a reminder of why they came to Franklin Field as the Collegiate Sprint Football League’s lone unbeaten squad aside from Penn. After kicking a field goal to

This was a rough one.

Fresh off an impressive 2-1 overtime win over Cornell a week ago, Penn men’s soccer was dealt a crushing double-overtime loss in its second Ivy contest Saturday, falling 2-1 to Columbia. The Lions’ game winner came on a penalty kick by freshman John Denis with 14 seconds left in the match.

“I don’t think it was our best performance. Columbia took it to us — they deserved to win the match,” coach Rudy Fuller said.

“We’re gonna need to take a long, hard look at the film.”

With the loss, Penn (3-2-5, 1-1-0 Ivy) failed to pick up any points and falls to fifth place in the Ancient Eight standings.

Columbia (6-2-1, 1-0-1) got

the scoring started in the 14th minute when junior forward Arthur Bosua converted a beautiful bicycle kick on a long feed from teammate Amit Shumowitz. Bosua deposited a rocket into the top right corner of the net, his team-high fourth goal of the season.

Penn responded just after halftime though, when junior back Sam Wancowicz found forward Alec Neumann for a game-tying goal. It was the senior captain’s seventh score of the season, the most in the Ivy League.

And though Wancowicz did pick up that pretty assist, Fuller was less than pleased with the defender’s overall performance on the evening.

The backbreaking goal came just seconds before the game would have been called a draw. As

Penn goalkeeper Etan Mabourakh scrambled to corral a loose ball, he accidentally touched it outside of the box, giving the Lions a penalty kick with just fourteen seconds remaining. Denis converted with ease, dealing the Quakers their most crushing loss of the season.

“They caught us. We didn’t deal with it very well,” Fuller said of the game’s final sequence.

In a sense, Columbia’s score was only a matter of time — the Lions dominated the offensive end throughout the match, particularly in the second half and overtime.

The New Yorkers led the Quakers in shots (14 to eight), corner kicks (12 to three) and shots on goal (six to two). Penn failed to take a single shot in either overtime period, while the Lions notched five.

Senior forward Alec Neumann tied the game at one in the second half with his Ivy-leading seventh goal of the season. However, Columbia’s onslaught of shots finally broke through as time expired, giving them the 2-1 win.
