New sexual assault process discussed at U. Council

A special investigator will handle cases, instead of the Office of Student Conduct HARRY COOPERMAN & HANNAH NOYES City News Editor & Staff Writer

Penn plans to revamp its handling of sexual assault disciplinary proceedings by next semester, Penn’s chief lawyer confirmed Wednesday after the University Council meeting. The change in procedures, following new federal guidelines, will shift Penn’s disciplinary process for sexual assaults from the Office of Student Conduct to a separate sexual violence investigative SEE U.

Disciplinary office four years behind on annual reports Compared to Ivy peers, Penn lags in disciplinary transparency LAUREN FEINER Deputy News Editor

For the fourth year in a row, the Office of Student Conduct has failed to publish an annual report on the number and types of student disciplinary cases it has seen in the previous academic year. The last report, which covered the 2008-2009 school year, was published in the Almanac in May 2010. The charter of Penn’s student disciplinary system mandates that OSC produce “periodic reports to inform the University community” about the number of rule violations, broken down by

type of violation, and the outcomes of reported cases. As the University searches for a new director of the office — which investigates complaints regarding breaches of the Code of Academic Integrity and Code of Student Conduct — it is unclear whether a new report can be expected any time soon, even once a new director is in place. “Getting the reports out on an annual basis will be a priority for the new director,” said Rob Nelson, the executive director for educa-

tion and academic planning in the Provost’s Office. Last year, a new report almost made it to the Almanac — where the statistics are typically published — but OSC asked that the data be returned because they contained errors. Almanac Editor Marguerite Miller said that her office has periodically inquired for the reports from OSC over the past four years, but made little headway. The last director of OSC, Michele Goldfarb, told The Daily Pennsylvanian several

times between March and October 2013 that the report was being prepared. She cited technical difficulties in compiling the statistics — owing to a new record-keeping system — as the reason for the delay. Julie Lyzinski Nettleton, the interim director of OSC since July, deferred comment to the Provost’s Office. Nelson, of the Provost’s Office, declined to comment on why there have been no reports.

Penn alumni in Canada found themselves under lockdown in their office buildings after an armed gunman stormed Canada’s main Parliament building and National War Memorial, killing an honor guard and shutting down the nation’s capital. Elisabeth Preston, a class of 1989 Law School alumna who works in counterterrorism, works several blocks away from the National War

Memorial. She stepped out of the office around 9:45 a.m. and saw police cars flying to scene of the shooting. “All of a sudden there were 20 or so police cruisers speeding as fast as I have ever seen through the light with sirens screeching. I looked up the hill, and the top of Elgin was literally ablaze with flashing lights of Ottawa police, [Royal Canadian Mounted Police] and ambulances,” she remembered. “Then I saw people running down the road away from the turmoil.” While locked down in their office buildings, alums tried to reach family and friends through overloaded phone lines and broadband.

The attack is not only shocking to alumni and students in its violence, it is also contrary to the nation’s ethos, they say. “I have lived in a city where you feel safe having a shower upstairs when all of your windows are open downstairs. Or puttering in your backyard with the front doors unlocked,” Elisabeth Preston, a class of 1989 Law School alum wrote in an email. “We talk to strangers here, give a stranger with shopping bags a lift from the bus stop in our cars, expect the best from others.” This attack also comes just days after another attack on members of the Canadian military. An allegedly in-

tentional hit-and-run crash killed a soldier and injured another in Montreal yesterday and officials believe both attacks were motivated by radical Islam. “I work in this area and am not naive about geo-political risk,” Preston said “We are caught off guard by these sorts of events. Shocked. Mostly because we cannot understand how anyone who lives in Canada, in one of the most prosperous and most comfortable liberal democracies in the world, would grow up to revile a place so comfortable.” she added.

They huddled around televisions and twitter, watching the story develop. The lockdown continued until evening when Preston and the other denizens of downtown Ontario were gradually allowed to leave their office buildings and return home in shock. “Ottawa has the reputation as a quiet government town. It’s unthinkable that something like this would happen,” College senior and Ottawa resident Patrick Liao said. Liao spent most of Wednesday afternoon glued to press coverage of the event trying to reach his parents and family who work or attend university in downtown Ottawa.

As partisan attacks become more commonplace as the midterm election approaches, there is an issue on which Democratic and Republican Pennsylvania lawmakers seem to agree: giving money to Penn’s School of Veterinary Medicine. Vet School funding, which amounted to $28.26 million in 2014 and comprises over a third of the school’s $82.6 million budget, remains one of Penn’s biggest stakes in Pennsylvania government. “It’s incredibly important;

I really don’t think we’d be as good as we are without it,” said Carol Pooser, assistant dean of advancement, alumni relations and communications for Penn Vet. “Because it is primarily given in support of agriculture, which is the state of Pennsylvania’s largest industry, most of the way we spend that state money goes towards that.” Statewide support for agricultural interests, which include the work at the Vet School, has rendered it a minor issue in the gubernatorial race, which heads into its final two weeks with Democratic candidate Tom Wolf leading Republican Governor Tom Corbett in most polls. Both candidates continue to express broad support for Pennsylvania agriculture, the state’s largest industry.

But as Election Day nears, Penn’s state lobbyist isn’t focusing as much on the governor’s race as he is on convincing new state legislators why Penn Vet funding is so important. While the 50 state senators and 203 state representatives have historically supported Penn Vet funding in a bipartisan manner, new elected officials always require convincing. “For this particular issue of the Vet School, we typically see all 253 members of the General Assembly every year,” said Hugh Allen, Penn’s state lobbyist in the Office of Government and Community Affairs. “What we strive to do for our campus clients is to show the General Assembly why there is a SEE ELECTION PAGE 2

The federal loans will still be available to students after reapplying SONIA SIDHU Staff Writer

In the middle of midterm week, Wharton freshman Hannah Stulberghas had a few things on her mind: her econ exam, her upcoming status report and the “sudden cancellation” of her loan by Penn’s Student Financial Services. Last week, some students, including Stulberg,received an email informing them that their loans had been canceled. The reason for the cancellation was the loan “[had] not yet disbursed due to a missing Master Promissory Note and incomplete Loan Entrance Counseling.” Stulberg and Wharton freshman David Cahn, who is a contributing writer for the Daily Pennsylvanian, both said that this email was the only notice they received this school year about the

unfulfilled requirements. Cahn, an Undergraduate Assembly representative, felt that more advanced notice should have been given and is meeting with SFS on Friday to “reach a more equitable solution.” In order to receive funds from a loan, students must complete a Master Promissory Note — a form that states a student intends to pay back the money borrowed —and attend entrance loan counseling, a system where students meet with a representative from SFS. Some students are also randomly selected by the federal Department of Education to go through a verification process. According to Sharon Pepe, senior director of Credit Services in Student Registration and Financial Services, no loans would be canceled solely because of a failure to complete documents. The loans were canceled because students have to pay a marginally higher origination fee for the loan after Oct. 1, per federal regulations, and therefore have to reapply.

Pepe said that SFS “had to cancel the first loan and start over again.” She said her office will be filling out new applications for students with canceled loans and the students will have to complete all the outstanding requirements. She expects that all students who need to borrow money will be able to do so and this change will not affect their financial situation. In 2011, sequestration rules were put into place so the Department of Education controls spending by very slightly increasing the origination fee for direct loans each October. Pepe said the origination fee increased from 1.072 percent of the loan to 1.073 percent of the loan, a change that is less than a dollar more for most students. Cahn and Stulberg both expressed their discontent with the communication by SFS. When she first received the email, Stulberg was not sure if she would get the money back and was upset that SFS had not communicated with her sooner.

“They need to improve relationship with students on financial aid and [their] organizational system in general,” Stulberg said. Canceling loans in the middle of midterm week, Stulberg said, goes directly against the mental health policies changes Penn President Amy Gutmann is trying to implement. Pepe and Marlene Bruno, communications director of Student Registration Services and SFS, both suggested that students visit the SFS website and the Penn Loan system, which is available 24/7, to make an appointment with their assistant director or attend walk-in hours. Stulberg said that when she made an appointment with her assistant director about another issue earlier this year, she had to wait for almost three weeks, and the walk-in hours conflict with her classes. “It’s absolutely [SFS’s] job to reach out to us,” she said. “I am 19 years old, I don’t have the resources to navigate Penn’s financial aid system.”

strong return on their investment.” With at least 26 new members of the General Assembly, Allen noted, “We need to get in front of every single one of them and explain to them what we do, how we do it and why it matters.” Penn and the agricultural industry share a common goal of maintaining, and possibly expanding, the funding received by Penn Vet. “The Penn Vet appropriation really benefits Pennsylvania’s largest industry, which is agriculture,” Allen said. “There is a sort of symbiotic relationship between Penn and agriculture.” According to the 2012 Census of Agriculture, the value of all agricultural products sold in Pennsylvania is $7.4 billion, and Penn Vet plays an important role in sustaining the health of the industry. “When we are taking about a multi-billion-dollar industry, which is agriculture in Pennsylvania, the role of veterinarians and diagnostic capabilities is absolutely critical,” said Chris Herr,

executive vice president of PennAg Industries, which lobbies Pennsylvania lawmakers on behalf of agricultural interests. “One of our number one legislative priorities is the state appropriation for Penn Vet. It is critical. Many of the 60,000 Pennsylvania farmers, many who have livestock, rely on it.” Although bipartisan support exists for continued Penn Vet funding, economic issues could decrease the state’s revenue and tighten its budget, which some advocates believe could lead lawmakers to put agricultural funding on the chopping block. “We’ve seen cuts to agriculture — drastic cuts in 2008, 2009 and 2010 — due to state of the economy and things like that,” said Mike Radar, a spokesperson for state Sen. Elder Vogel (RBeaver), who chairs the Senate Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee. “I think the economy has the largest role to play in the funding of agriculture, but I think generally a lot of policymakers see the benefit in providing funding for programs that support agriculture.”

PROTESTER >> PAGE 1

For the last 10 years, Hank Essex has protested against the “corruption and demoralization of America” at the corner of 36th and Walnut every week — right in front of the Penn Bookstore. He stands with a giant signon Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays with a new, controversial message about American politics and society, trying to convince passersby of the importance of Christianity in society. The Daily Pennsylvanian interviewed him last Friday about his beliefs and why he protests on campus. This interview has been edited for clarity and length. Daily Pennsylvanian: I see your sign says “Vote Godly men and women.” What exactly do you mean by that? Hank Essex: Our constitution was put together to protect the treasure that’s in the declaration — the blessings of liber-

ty and God-given rights based on the bible. We are going to lose this treasure if we keep putting wicked communists in the White House and atheists in the courts. We need to replace them with God-fearing American leaders. DP: Do you think there are any good leaders right now in the two political parties? HE: We don’t have good leaders in either party except Ted Cruz. I think he’s a hopeful. DP: Why do you protest at Penn? HE: Fifty years ago, when I was about your age, I had friends who went to college here so I am familiar with this place. Also, Ben Franklin was one of the founding fathers who gave our nation its Christian foundation. I’m trying to present the truth to us who have been deceived, including myself. I’ve been deceived all my life by the same communist professors you have been.

NEWS 3

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2014 They think they’re good, but they’re just obeying their own evil minds. DP: I just want to clarify, are you calling Penn’s professors communists? HE: Yes. Not only Penn. Harvard’s been corrupted. Yale’s been corrupted. All these schools that were started by Christians are now corrupted by atheists and communists. Atheist counselors. Atheist professors. DP: You said you had friends who went to Penn. Did you go to school near Penn? HE: No, I am a high school dropout. DP: So you disagree with scholars who say Franklin was a deist? HE: It’s nonsense. Universities keep this nonsense going. Franklin worked hard to maintain a Christian society based on the bible, otherwise we’d base our laws on man, and 6,000 years of man’s history

demonstrates it is destructive when you get away from God. DP: Why do you sometimes hold signs with derogatory messages about LGBT people when you protest in front of the Penn Bookstore? Don’t you know that Penn is an LGBTfriendly environment? HE: Homosexuality wasn’t around when I was coming up. Matter of fact, the word gay meant something else. It meant being happy. Nobody used the word gay as something to do with sex. All this nonsense has been going on for the last 100 years and it has got to stop, because America is being destroyed by the atheists and communists. DP: Do you know others who are doing similar protests? HE: I don’t know any directly, but I know there are many others like me who are independently trying to save our nation. DP: Do you think others

share your beliefs? Does anyone come up to you to talk? HE: Yes. Lots of college students, older people and strangers come up to talk to me. I’ve had people driving by see me and drive back and talk to me. There’s no one else that speaks for them because the media is on the other side, with the communists and the atheists. People don’t hear their own opinion in the media, so they’re afraid to speak. They’re afraid of being ostracized or being called names like racist or homophobe. DP: What do you ultimately hope to achieve through your one-man campaign? HE: My effort has been to bring as much truth amid the lies that have been perpetuated in my lifetime upon the American people, and help us restore our nation to the foundation that was given to us by Franklin, Washington and Jefferson, whom the university’s professors and politicians lie about. Many of them are atheists.

and Ottawa resident said that a friend termed the day’s events “the end of the age of innocence.” “It was disturbing and maybe we have a false sense of security and maybe that was brought to light,” he said/ Nonetheless, alumni insisted that the attack will not change what it means to be Canadian— “Idealistic…not jaded. They’re open. They’re kind,” in Preston’s words. Brodhead was proud to note that even while under fire, the police were polite while asking people to leave the area. “Its very Canadian to ask people to ‘please get back,’” she said. “Thank God in Canada we’re still saying ‘please get back.’” She also stated with pride that the provincial and national Canadian government did not shut down today but continued the democratic process. “It was an attack on73092 democracy and they decided not to stop the session,” she said.

Too much activism? THE MELTING POT | Being a social activist is not an excuse for ignorance or egotism THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2014 VOL.

I am grateful to have met many people over the course of my time at Penn who are passionate. Many students are driven to make changes in the Penn community, and our larger society, by being activists both on and off campus. They regularly speak out about the injustices they see, whether it be transphobia, racism or sexism. I am proud to know people who take the seemingly commonsense idea of equality to the next level and constantly challenge others to re-examine their personal prejudices and biases. Yet Penn has also introduced me to the darker side of social activism that comes from a place of self-righteousness. Instead of concentrating on increasing awareness for a cause, some have used their social involvement to exude a sense of superiority with the lack of experience to back it. Too often have I come across a situation such as this

one. A white student makes an ignorant, but not always malicious, racial comment in the presence of another white student. This second student will go on to name drop multiple

Instead of concentrating on increasing awareness for a cause, some have used their social involvement to exude a sense of superiority with the lack of experience to back it.” articles that have come up in the classroom and chide this classmate for displaying “white privilege” and “insensitivity.”

As a person of color, I am appreciative to those who stand up to racism when they encounter it. But students cannot use their activism as an excuse to ignore their own privileges. Much of social activism comes from a personal vested interest in the cause, such as being a member of a marginalized group. But there is also a sense of smugness that has befallen the Penn community, where one thinks that simply reading up on a subject or joining an activist group makes them both completely knowledgeable about inequality and morally superior to others. I don’t care how many gender and sexuality courses you take or how many books you have read about multiracial women of color in America. You will never truly know my experiences if you have not had them yourself. Speaking on behalf of others without first acknowledging your own removal from the subject is at

best distasteful. It only serves to put the focus of attention on yourself rather than the cause you are fighting for. Academia is not an excuse for laziness. If you are intent on making this campus, and the world, a better place, your intentions should come from an inner drive rather than conceit. Forwarding links to scholarly articles cannot replace intimate conversation between peers, and correcting someone’s insensitivity does not allow you to overlook your own. For example, my fellow columnist Roderick Cook has discussed the need for intersectionality in the queer activist community. I have been in social gatherings that encourage the use of proper pronouns only to make unnecessary comments on race. Only focusing on one area of activism without acknowledging all of the different social factors that come into play when discussing inequality is hypocritical and exclu-

sionary. Penn is also notorious for failing to acknowledge a particular elephant in the room: socioeconomic status. We must recognize that as a whole, many of us tend to come from well-off backgrounds. We have to consider how this has shaped our outlook as well as that of others. Because so much inequality is tied to class, it needs to be addressed when we think about social activism on campus. The resources we as Penn students have vary considerably across the student body, as well as our larger community. It is important to make your voice heard in the quest for social change, but before preaching to others, you must first look inward. Even as a woman of color, I cannot ignore the other privileges I have been afforded. Had I grown up as my parents did, I may not have made it to Penn. But their determination to provide a better life for their children got me to

Use the advantages you do have to combat the injustices you have experienced or witnessed. A holier-thanthou attitude has no place in the fight for social justice.

“What’s your name?” “Where are you from?” These two questions are nearly ubiquitous when we meet a new person. They immediately provide a way to identify someone — the answers often hint at one’s social and cultural background. This framework gives us adequate context to generate a conversation. Interestingly, we have essentially no control over either of these answers. We are named by our parents at birth, are born wherever they live at the time and originate from wherever our ancestors happen to have come. So why do these standard topics hold such significance in our daily interactions? Names indicate popular trends, cultural heritage and more. This makes it easy for people to reduce minority groups in particular to their stereotypes, rather than acknowledging them as multifaceted individuals apart from those categories. We need to

address and counter this inclination in order to create more genuine, deeper connections with people. Stereotypes, while helpful in that they give us a basis from which to approach novel situations, are also very limiting if we are unable to view others as more complex than — or in opposition to — those ideas. Several studies have shown that employers demonstrate a subconscious bias when reviewing emails and resumes based on the job applicant’s name. In particular, a University of Chicago study from 2001-02 demonstrated that resumes submitted with popular, generic “white” names were about 1.5 times likelier to receive callbacks than those with popular “black” ones. Our identities also come with an implicit set of expectations based on the sociocultural connotations of one’s hometown or ancestral country. The phenomenon of cultural bias sets one’s own traditions as the norm, comparing others to that

baseline. Ethnocentrism also speaks to the trend of judging others according to our culture’s standards. This can be problematic since we often automatically view others as outsiders if they don’t align with

Stereotypes, while helpful in that they give us a basis from which to approach novel situations, are also very limiting if we are unable to view others as more complex than — or in opposition to — those ideas.” those preconceived notions. My experience with these issues has been somewhat unique because of the ambiguity of my answers. My name is Maya. I’m from the Chicago suburbs. So what can you learn about me from that? Not much,

probably. People tend to pry further, though. I’m asked for a specific suburb, knowing that Evanston and Cicero mean very different things. They wonder if Maya is my real name, knowing my Indian heritage — to be fair, I have friends who have “Americanized” or completely changed their names. They tell me that other Mayas they know are Jewish or Japanese. Since it has religious and social history around the world, Maya is a highly cross-cultural name. Alternatively, people try to play a “guess the background” game. I’ve gotten everything from mixed black and white to Greek to Hispanic. I find this a somewhat intriguing source of entertainment, especially when people don’t let me just clarify that I’m Indian. Stranger yet, I have found out after months or years of acquaintance that a friend had erroneously assumed I was a particular race all along. These occurrences have never really upset me. I’m

mostly just confused as to why people insist on categorizing me. I wonder what incorrect qualities I have been assigned when those categories are wrong. Why do I have to be identified by my racial background? Why do any of us, really? While some people identify very strongly with their cultural heritage and love to talk about it, it would be freeing to sometimes introduce myself without any expectations regarding my personality and interests. For instance, I came into college as a biochemistry major and am now tentatively majoring in cognitive neuroscience instead. Both of these options inevitably lead to the assumption that I’m pre-med. I’m not, and I have never been. But as an Indian science major, I must be, right? Next time someone introduces himself or herself, try asking some new questions.

quest, we would either have to overly generalize with respect to the nature of each offense, which would be both misleading and unhelpful, or we would have to disclose a good deal of additional detail,” which would breach student privacy, the letter read. Penn’s most recent report indicates the number of reported cases of harassment, indecent/sexual assault, indecent exposure and sexual harassment — among other types of misconduct unrelated to sexual assault. While the report includes how many cases received each type of resolution and sanction, it does not break down these numbers by the type of violation. For the first time this year, Columbia released statistics on reports of sexual misconduct, broken down by the complainants’ and respondents’ affiliations within the university, as well as the type of responses issued for each category of sexual misconduct. Yale University’s 2014 Report of Complaints of Sexual Misconduct also broke down its reported numbers in a similar way and summarized each reported case, excluding the names of persons involved. In its 2014 reports, Brown University included the numbers and types of violations and sanctions administered, as well as whether the hearing was held by students or administrators. “It’s fair to say as part of the process [of issuing a new report], I’m sure the OSC will look at what peer institutions are doing,” Nelson said, although he added it is too early to tell what will be included in the report. Fletcher, the Honor Council co-chair, said that broad

“This is pretty symptomatic of some of the issues that OSC has,” said College senior Michele Fletcher, the co-chair of the University Honor Council. The Honor Council is the undergraduate judicial board that educates students about university codes of conduct and academic integrity, lobbies the University for policy changes and sends representatives to sit on student conduct hearings. Fletcher said the daily functions of the office take up much of the staff’s time, although she hopes that the proposed creation of an office devoted to handling cases of sexual misconduct will allow cases to receive more thorough treatment. “Because it is such a small office, they have a lot of trouble operating at the level that the University wants them to,” Fletcher said. With the opening of the new office for sexual misconduct, Penn will follow the path of peer schools like Columbia University, which announced the opening of a Gender-Based Misconduct Office in September. Still, Penn’s student disciplinary system is less transparent than those at other Ivies. Penn has declined to release aggregate information on what punishments were meted out to students found responsible for sexual misconduct. In response to requests from the DP last year, Goldfarb, the former director, sent a letter arguing that releasing such statistics would breach student privacy. “To comply with your re-

statistics, like those provided in the 2010 report, are not particularly useful, although they are a starting point. With so little detail, it is difficult for the group to understand trends of disciplinary action and code violations. Still, she stressed, reports don’t always show the full picture anyway. “The culture aspect is something that the data doesn’t necessarily show,” Fletcher said. To supplement the numbers, the Honor Council has been trying to form relationships with department heads and undergraduate deans in order to collect anecdotal data about what types of disciplinary cases they handle internally and how each department enforces University honor codes. Fletcher said she hopes the new OSC director will aid this process by communicating with different areas of the university to ensure consistency and fairness in policy. Regardless of what information a new report would include, Fletcher said it would signal a necessary push for transparency by the University. “[Issuing annual reports] shows the University cares about what students are doing,” Fletcher said. “That’s essentially what builds trust in any office at Penn — if you know what they’re doing.”

Princeton philosopher promotes ‘effective altruism’ Peter Singer spoke at an event held by two student groups NANETTE ELUFA Contributing Writer

Next time you buy your Starbucks coffee, think about the money that you could be sending to a third-world country. This is the type of idea that philosopher and Princeton professor Peter Singer proposed at the Penn Museum Wednesday evening. The topic of his speech was “effective altruism” — the method of giving charity in the most cost-efficient way. For Singer, this means giving to developing countries rather than domestically, where the change from your midafternoon coffee break will make a greater impact. Students at Penn are already engaging in the type of altruism that Singer proposed. Two Penn student groups, Giving What We Can and One for the World hosted the event Wednesday night. One for the World is a movement started by Wharton MBA students, who decided to commit 1 percent of their

future incomes to the world’s most effective charities and encourage others to do the same, just about a coffee a day. Penn’s new chapter of Giving What We Can, an international society that focuses on similar issues of cost-effective giving, is open to undergraduates as well. Almost everyone living in developed nations has the ability to give, Singer said. A dollar a day for a year can almost double the salary of a person in a third-world country, he added. He argued that people in developed countries consume much more than they need to, wasting money that could help solve issues of global health and poverty. According to Singer, very few developed countries are giving their fair share. Only five countries give the UN recommended percentages of their gross national income — 70 cents per $100 in foreign aid. The US is not one of these countries. While Americans believe their government gives 25 percent of the national budget to foreign aid and should give 10 percent, the reality is that the US gives less than 1 percent. Singer used the example of the cost of training a seeing eye dog to

explain the benefit of giving globally. With the money it costs to train one seeing eye dog in America, blindness from bacterial infection can be prevented in 1,000 to 2,000 people living in developing nations. Ultimately, there is greater value in giving to developing countries rather than developed countries. Singer pointed out that effective altruists are not necessarily the people you would think they are. “Some of them work on Wall Street,” he said. He mentioned a former student of his whose Wall Street salary enables him to give more than $100,000 a year to effective charities. Although unconventional, working in the financial industry allowed this Princeton grad to maximize the amount of good he could do in the world, even though it meant forgoing the typical lavish lifestyle. Postdoctoral student Jan Lindemans, whose research includes some of Singer’s work, felt that seeing him in person was an entirely different experience than reading his theories. “You actually have to see the guy in person to get the kick in the butt and do something,” he said.

Forbes Under 30 Summit brings alum back to Phila. Penn alumni from past 30 Under 30 lists attended the conference CAROLINE SIMON Contributing Writer

The Penn alumni who attended the Forbes Under 30 Summit this week are proof of the university’s mission: educating young people to make positive changes in the world. The Under 30 Summit, held in Philadelphia from Oct. 19 to Oct. 22, invited over 1,000 professionals under the age of 30 from a variety of fields to meet and share ideas. The summit’s agenda included presentations and information panels as well as parties and a music fes-

officer. “We are already looking to hire a professional Title IX investigator,” Senior Vice President and General Counsel Wendy White said at the meeting. Under the new policy, the new sexual violence investigator will review the evidence in every case and interview both the complainant and respondent about the incident. After issuing a preliminary report, both the complainant and respondent will have an opportunity to provide feedback and further information, after which a final report with a proposed recommendation and sanction will be issued, White explained. At this point, if all parties involved are satisfied with the report, then the matter can be settled. Otherwise, the

tival. Influential speakers included Malala Yousafzai and Monica Lewinsky, among many others. Summit attendee Joyce Meng graduated from the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business in 2008 and pursued a graduate degree at Oxford after receiving a Rhodes scholarship. She then founded Givology, an online philanthropy platform that connects donors to grassroots education projects around the world. Givology is entirely volunteer-run and has currently raised $430,000. For her accomplishments, Meng was honored on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in the education category this year. Meng believes that her college experience played a large role

in her success. Attending Penn “opened my world,” she said. She cited Penn’s “intellectual community” and “feeling the power that I could actually do something” as prime contributors to her achievements. In her advice to current students, Meng emphasized the importance of a solid work ethic. She also highlighted the ability of all young people to make a difference in today’s world: “If you don’t see a solution in the world today that satisfies your vision for change, you are completely empowered to go turn it up.” 2009 College graduate Bing Chen also attended the summit. He worked for YouTube as the global head of creator development and

management and was recognized by Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Hollywood and Entertainment category in 2014 for work including content development for YouTube. He was also the company’s first brand manager. Currently, Chen works at media startup Victorious as co-founder and chief creative officer. His Penn background, he said, was important to his success. He emphasized Penn’s focus on interdisciplinary knowledge as well as on pre-professional opportunities as key factors in his professional growth. Like Meng, Chen offered advice for students looking to reach early success in their careers. His recommendation: “You should be yourself and do what you truly love.”

matter can be appealed to an all-faculty panel trained in handling sexual assault cases. The panel will then interview all involved parties, White said, and review the evidence and ultimately decide the matter. The shift to an all-faculty panel marks a stark change from current practices, which are still in effect. Under current policies, if an OSC decision is appealed, a panel of students and faculty members will hear the disciplinary proceeding. While in the pastPenn held off on investigating sexual assaults if the matter had been reported to Philadelphia Police, this practice is no longer allowed under new federal guidelines. “We are required to go ahead with our process even though there may be a criminal proceeding going on simultaneously,” White said. After being asked by University

Council members about minimum sanctions for students found responsible for sexual assaults, White responded that Penn’s new policy will not impose a universal range of sanctions, as possible punishments will vary by case. However, “in the usual case, if someone is found responsible for sexual assault, they will be separated at some point — at some period of time — from the University,” White said. “One of the concerns that we share is whether there has been consistency across cases,” Penn President Amy Gutmann said. “That’s what we want to address.” Penn’s shift in sexual assault procedures follows federal legislation and guidelines that require colleges across the country to change how they handle cases of sexual assault. Harvard, Columbia universities and

Dartmouth Collegehave all recently appointed a single coordinator to handle sexual assault cases. The previous process “was not working effectively” at Penn and at colleges across the country, White said. However, she added that the new policy will be more fair and impartial, and “less intimidating.” As a result, White said she expects there to be an increase in reported incidents. Race was also a point of discussion at the University Council meeting. UMOJA Chair Denzel Cummings protested the lack of racial focus during the next academic theme year and UMOJA Political Chair Nikki Hardison read a statement in defense of College junior Cam Countryman, who was arrested after a fight reportedly instigated by racial slurs.

Quakers look for spark in Ivy play

FIELD HOCKEY | Star scorers prepare for Bulldogs BY TOM NOWLAN Staff Writer YALE 2-11, 0-4 Ivy Saturday, 12 p.m. New Haven

Last Sunday, Penn field hockey did something that they hadn’t done since Sept. 27: win. The Quakers (5-7, 1-3 Ivy), having dropped their previous four matches, notched an impressive nonconference victory with a 5-0 win over Longwood. “We needed to bounce back quickly,” coach Colleen Fink said of the shutout win. “We did a good job of playing with a little more intensity.” On Saturday, the Red and Blue will look to start a winning streak when they head north to take on Yale in New Haven. The Bulldogs have struggled on the season as they currently sit at 2-11 overall with a 0-4 mark in Ivy League play. However, Fink is quick to dispel any notion that her team should prepare for an easy win. “With our Ivy League record, they might overlook us as well,” Fink said. “But the Ivy League is strong, so that why Yale’s record is where it is right now.” Penn’s scoring on Sunday was once again powered by freshman attack Alexa Hoover. The freshman standout notched two more goals, pushing her season total to 11, tying her for first in the Ancient Eight with Columbia’s Zoe Blake and Cornell’s Marisa Siergiej. Hoover was rewarded for her efforts with the Ivy League’s Rookie of the Week award, her third of the season. “She just has those intangible qualities,” said Fink of her young star. “She forces a lot of adjustments defensively. Teams have to address how they pressure and mark her.” Between Hoover and senior standouts Emily Corcoran and Alex Iqbal, the Quakers feature three of the Ivy League’s top ten goal scorers. In addition, Penn stars four different players who have dished out at least four assists. However, the Red and Blue have had trouble translating that offensive star power to victories. Penn sits at 1-3 in Ancient Eight play, putting them in sixth place and out of championship contention.

“I think that we have to do a better job of managing the game,” Fink said. “We’ve done a good job of redefining our goals moving forward.” Iqbal will be one of the main Quakers to watch on Saturday. After scoring in both of the Quakers’ games against Columbia and Longwood last weekend, the midfielder is now third on the team with six goals on the season. After the win on Sunday, Fink was effusive about her veteran star. “She was out for three games, but now she’s back and feeling good,” she said. “She’s a huge part of this team and its success. Whether she scores or not, she’s a key contributor.” The Bulldogs will be led offensively by their leading scorer, sophomore midfielder Kelsey Nolan. On the defensive end, senior goalkeeper Heather Schlesier leads the Ivy League with 112 saves on the season. “They have some good players in their program,” said Fink. “I think that they’re going to be a strong team.” With only three games remaining in their Ivy schedule, the Red and Blue need to start accumulating wins in the Ancient Eight. Saturday in New Haven would be a great place to start.

SAM SHERMAN/SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Senior midfielder Alex Iqbal has emerged as the Quakers’ third significant scoring threat as of late, adding depth to Penn’s already star-studded attack. However, this star power has not been enough for the Red and Blue to find major success in the Ivy League thus far this season.

THREE UP, THREE DOWN

Penn looks to maintain Ivy League momentum

BY COLIN HENDERSON

PRINCETON 9-8, 4-3 Ivy

From The Daily Pennsylvanianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports blog, THE BUZZ

Friday, 7 p.m.

Having won three of its last five matches â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including its most recent contest against a strong Dartmouth squad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it looks like Penn volleyballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young roster may be finding its footing. On Friday, the Quakers will hit the road to take on Ivyrival Princeton and get back to .500 in conference play. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at some reasons why the Red and Blue may extend their recent success and some reasons why they may revert to old tendencies. Three Up Recent history: While the Quakers (6-12, 3-4 Ivy) have taken positive strides as of late, Princeton (9-8, 4-3) has been

A jack of all trades: It seems like Alex Caldwell has done a little bit of everything for the Quakers this year, and she pretty much has. The junior captain continued her stellar campaign by recording her second tripledouble of the year over the weekend. She and fellow junior Alexis Genske will be relied upon heavily once again against Princeton. Three Down Slightly less recent history: While recent results have comparatively favored Penn, the Tigers got the best of the Red and Blue earlier this season. In Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ivy home opener, the Quakers were swept by the Tigers, who were propelled by an impressive 29-assist performance from setter Lauren Miller. The Red and Blue will need to adjust if they want a different

digressing. The Tigers started their season strong, reeling off four consecutive Ivy victories. However, they have been in a funk lately, having dropped their past three games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of which have been in conference. Throwing a block party: In their most recent victory over Dartmouth, the Red and Blue were propelled by 11 crucial team blocks. Senior Kendall Turner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who has been credited for her leadership throughout the year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was a major part of the effort, chipping in five block assists herself. If Penn puts up a similar defensive effort on Friday, it could spell trouble for the Tigers.

result this time around. Setting the table: Miller has been a force for the Tigers all season. After finishing fourth in the Ivy League last year as a freshman, she has averaged an impressive 10.62 assists this season. The Quakers do not have a single individual averaging half of that mark. On the road again: Penn has struggled in matches away from home this season, having gone 1-4 on the road thus far. Admittedly, several of these have come against tough national opponents, but the Quakers will need to overcome their overall inexperience and improve on the road moving forward. They will get another shot this weekend against Princeton in a match that will start the Quakers on the second half of their Ivy season.

Penn, possibly playing without leading rusher Beamish, will also have to contend against a strong Army defense that has held teams to just 250 yards per game. Sophomore quarterback Mike McCurdy will have more responsibility on his shoulders with a running game much less likely to be effective. After facing Army, Penn will travel to face Princeton in its season finale.

over the next year and a half he has in the program.â&#x20AC;? As a freshman, Clancy tore his ACL and, as a result, missed the entire spring offseason with the team. Clancy cites his healthy offseason of training as the main reason for his increased productivity this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a three-month period where you develop physically a lot and I missed out on that,â&#x20AC;? Clancy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so my fitness has been a lot better this year than it ever has been before so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just allowed me to get involved in games way more. I knew I needed to make more runs going forward this year and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely worked on in games.â&#x20AC;? Largely thanks to Clancy, the Quakers are currently tied for second place in the conference, and he has set his team goals high for the remainder of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to win the Ivy

League right now â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focusing on,â&#x20AC;? Clancy said. The matchup with Yale will mark the halfway point in the Ivy League season, and Clancy asserts that the match is a must-win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have five games left, four of them are Ivy League and we need to win all of those games,â&#x20AC;? Clancy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we do that, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make the NCAA, which will be really cool. We did that last year so we want to go higher and further in the tournament than we did last year.â&#x20AC;? Fuller is confident in his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability, but he knows that his guys must be sharp if they want to advance past the Bulldogs and up the Ivy League standings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know a lot of their players. We recruited a lot of their players,â&#x20AC;? Fuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going be another really hotly contested tight Ivy League encounter.â&#x20AC;?

THE EDGE The Quakers face off against the Bulldogs — who’s got the advantage? OFFENSE: The Quakers played their most efficient game of the season against Columbia last week and are finally getting h e al t hy a t r unning back. But the Elis have been efficient ever y week, leading the Ivy League in scoring offense and total offensive yards. ADVANTAGE: YALE DEFENSE: Penn’s secondary has been much maligned this season, but it came to play last weekend. Yale isn’t as luck y, surrendering an average of 33.6 points per game — only one point better than the Quakers. The Red and Blue’s defense is just more confident right now. ADVANTAGE: PENN OVERALL: Penn might be entering this matchup confident after getting its first win of the season over a weaker opponent, but the Elis have just shown too much offense to expect the Red and Blue to solve all their problems in one week.

much of a shot at keeping the Yale Bowl scoreboard from breaking a fuse. The Quakers have surrendered an average of 34.6 points and 460.2 yards of offense per game, marks that rank seventh in the Ancient Eight. But against the Lions, the Red and Blue seemed to show that those numbers could be more reflective of the quality of the ranked nonconference foes they had faced rather than major personnel or scheme issues. Penn held Columbia to just 20 rushing yards on 17 attempts and applied constant pressure with the pass rush, resulting in a 31-7 win. “I don’t think anything’s really changed,” senior linebacker Dan Davis said about the defense’s recent edge. “I think we’ve been pretty consistent as far as prep goes. I think it’s more just the level of competition you’re going against.” Yale’s offense certainly presents stout competition in its own right. Senior running back Tyler Varga has showed no signs of the foot injury that limited him to just five games in 2013 and is averaging 141.8 rushing yards per contest. The Quakers didn’t see Varga when they held off the Bulldogs at Franklin Field last year, but upperclassmen on the roster certainly remember his 104-yard performance the last time these two teams squared off at the Yale Bowl, a 2713 Yale win in 2012. Penn’s defenders, though, aren’t planning on allowing the powerful running back to bowl them over in one-on-one matchups. “Swarming to the ball is a thing

that we’ve kind of been talking about all week,” Davis said. “We’ve really been doing stuff in practice as far as waiting to blow the whistle until everyone’s there — just the general type of stuff that you’d do against a running back like that where you just have to gang tackle and get as many guys there as possible.” Don’t expect the Red and Blue to stack the box with eight men all afternoon, though. They can’t afford to against quarterback Morgan Roberts, who boasts an Ivy-best 69.6 percent completion percentage. “You can’t stack up in any one area,” coach Al Bagnoli said. “I think the whole key to the game is

trying to minimize how many big plays we give up and to see if we can create any turnovers.” Speaking of turnovers, Saturday’s game against the Lions gave Penn fans their first glimpse this season of an offense operating without any self-inflicted issues. Sophomore quarterback Alek Torgersen had his cleanest game of the year, completing 16 of 22 passes for 214 passing yards, a touchdown and, most importantly, zero interceptions. And Penn’s rushing attack sprang to life in spite of the injuries that forced senior Eric Fiore to move into the backfield after he started the

season at wide receiver. The Quakers ran for 276 yards on 54 carries. Senior Kyle Wilcox will be back this weekend after missing last week’s contest with a concussion, giving an improving attack another shot in the arm. “[Last week] I thought we ran the offense we want to run,” Bagnoli said. “We want to be balanced. We ran for well over 200. We threw it for over 200. And I think that kind of showcased what we want to be.” That kind of offensive efficiency will give the Quakers a chance in any game they play — even if they enter a shootout this weekend they’d rather avoid.

Randall has become QB Morgan Roberts’ favorite target, averaging 8.8 receptions per game through Yale’s five contests. He’s averaging 115 receiving yards per game, to boot.

Red and Blue looking to ‘take control’ W. SOCCER | Penn searches for consistency as Ivy play continues BY SABRINA HAGAN Contributing Writer

NATE CHEN/DP FILE PHOTO

Junior guard Tony Hicks has arrived on campus refocused and ready to serve as a team leader after an up-and-down sophomore campaign.

TYDINGS >> PAGE 10

Red and Blue last year in points per game. But by all accounts, Hicks has brought a new level of intensity into this season and has taken on the role of leader. That’s before you add in healthy seniors Camryn Crocker and Patrick Lucas-Perry, both coming off injuries that eliminated most of their junior seasons. And that’s not to mention Matt Howard, whose freshman year came to an end due to injury just as it seemed to be breaking out. This year’s freshman class is the most unpredictable thing about this team. Those voting in the media poll haven’t seen Sam Jones shooting threes. They probably haven’t gotten a chance to see Antonio Woods or Darnell Foreman run the point. They haven’t watched while Mike Auger and Dan Dwyer make moves in the post. College sports are volatile. A fourth of the roster turns over each year. Someone can go from limited reps to team leader in a year. And injuries can change everything. So sure, you can freak out about the media poll. Or maybe it didn’t change your opinion because you are already comparing the 2014-15 Penn Quakers to a sinking ship. But I urge you: Wait until you see

a game. Wait ’til you see two. Heck, the Quakers have 10 games before facing Princeton to start Ivy play, so you might as well watch all 10 of those nonconference tilts. After all, seeing is believing. A preseason poll doesn’t change that. STEVEN TYDINGS is a Wharton junior from Hopewell, N.J., and is the senior sports editor of The Daily Pennsylvanian.

With a two-game losing streak and only one Ivy win so far this season, Penn women’s soccer is looking back and seeing how it can improve. After losing consecutive matches to Dartmouth and Navy and dropping back to .500, the Red and Blue (5-5-2, 1-3 Ivy) will head out to New Haven this Saturday to try to bring home a victory against Yale. With inconsistency still holding the team back, however, it is going to be a fight. Having won its last game against Cornell, Yale (6-4-2, 1-1-2) is sure to come into the match with high intensity and confidence, something that the Quakers may need to emulate. “Every Ivy League game is important,” sophomore midfielder Lindsey Sawczuk commented. “It’s always really competitive, high-paced, so we just have to bring everything we have to every game.” As seen in its game against Dartmouth, there is one big thing holding the team back: consistency. “We went and we watched a video of Dartmouth,” senior midfielder Kaitlyn Moore said. “And [we] realized that there are

a lot things that we did good in the game, and it’s just about consistency.” The team has attempted to remedy this problem by focusing on repetition in its practices. “Hopefully we will get on top of making sure we’re doing everything consistently throughout the game instead of doing really well, then kind of dropping off,” Moore said. “Because we’ve had really good ideas and executions, but we just need to make sure to keep on going.” The team has been working on executing and attacking the net, and even though the Quakers have improved in these areas on the practice field, they are struggling to do the same in games. “Some girls are great in practice,” coach Darren Ambrose said. “And then they get in the game and they struggle to live up to that intensity, and they can’t quite handle the expectation.” However, the team is growing a sense of determination as they get accustomed to the higher level of play. “For the first time this season, I’m finally listening and hearing players get upset with each other,” Ambrose said. “There’s finally a little bit of ‘we can’t let this go on much longer’ kind of

attitude. We need to take control of this. I think they’re finally starting to, though it’s taking a long time.” Penn has not lost to the Bulldogs in the last four years of Ivy play, but as its record shows, Penn has struggled in conference games thus far this year. So will the Red and Blue get it together in time for their game against Yale? Ambrose seems to

think so. “I think we’re finally starting to let go of some of this tension, some of this anxiety that we’ve had and this inexperience,” he said. “We just have to get repetitions in and practice the runs that we could be making,” Moore added. “Then we’ll be ready for the game and be ready to execute.”

GETTING DEFENSIVE FOOTBALL| After stifling the Lions, Quakers aim for Yale

STEVEN TYDINGS

BY IAN WENIK Sports Editor

Congratulations, Penn football. The Quakers took down perennial doormat Columbia on Saturday, snapping an eightgame losing streak that dated back to last year and saving their season from descending into chaos. Their reward? A date with the Ivy League’s leading passer and rusher. Saturday, the Red and Blue will make the three-hour drive north and try to figure out the formula to slow down Yale and its potent attack — a task that, so far, no one has managed to accomplish. The Bulldogs (4-1, 1-1 Ivy) enter this weekend’s contest averaging 46 points per game, top in the Ivy League by a wide margin. In its sole loss, a 38-31 defeat at the hands of Dartmouth two weeks ago, Yale still managed to put up 480 yards of total offense. At first glance, Penn (1-4, 1-1) would appear to not pose

enn basketball fans, it is time to commence freaking out: The Quakers are going to finish seventh in the Ivy League. Oh wait, that’s just the Ivy League Preseason Media Poll, so you might want to hold onto your horses. Sure, the media poll accurately reflects expectations for the Ivy teams this year: Harvard is supposed to reign supreme once again. Yale and Columbia are expected to battle for second. Princeton and Brown seem to be in the middle of the pack. And the voters don’t have much confidence in Dartmouth, Penn and Cornell, the squads expected to finish in sixth, seventh and eighth, respectively. Don’t get me wrong: If I had a vote, it’s not like I would be putting Penn first. That would be tough to justify with the existence of Harvard All-Ivy guards Siyani Chambers and Wesley Saunders. But don’t put all of your faith in preseason polls; instead, wait to see the actual product take the floor. And of all the teams in the Ancient Eight, the Red and Blue just might be the most unpredictable. The program has had significant turnover from last season. The Quakers had a few players leave the program and graduated five seniors, including Miles Jackson-Cartwright and Fran Dougherty, the team’s second and third leading scorers, respectively. Dau Jok is gone as a leader. Julian Harrell and Henry Brooks won’t be providing minutes off the bench. Yet Penn will play on. Forget who is gone; they aren’t coming back. The focus should be on the players still in the program. But even the players still in uniform have changed since we last saw them. Take junior guard Tony Hicks, for example. He has proven he can score, leading the

Despite playing without senior safety Mike Laning (right) on Saturday, Penn football’s secondary was able to stifle Columbia’s passing attack, holding the Lions to a completion percentage just over 50 percentage. Laning will return to the lineup this weekend, and not a second too soon, as the Quakers take on Yale, which boasts senior quarterback Morgan Roberts, who leads the Ancient Eight in touchdowns.

The Dark Penn Rises Walking through a crowd, the Yale Bowl is aglow. A cornucopia of loud football players under jerseys. Everyone there wants something more. And that is the second Ivy win of the year. The Swamis will venture up to New Haven this weekend, where the Elis scoff at the notion of Quakers. After all, it is HYP country,

and Penn with its party school mentality and lack of grade inflation isn’t welcome. But the 1-4 team rises. Yale and head coach Tony Reno have some clear misconceptions about the state of Connecticut. For it turns out, Reno — an Oxford, Mass., native — merely adopted the Connecticut, but Al Bagnoli was born in it. Molded by it. He didn’t see another state

until he was already a man, and by then it was nothing to him but blinding. So if Reno and the Elis think that its state will be its ally, they are wrong, for the Connecticut belongs to Bagnoli. Late in Saturday’s matchup, Yale senior quarterback Morgan Roberts will venture up to the offensive line, seeing Bagnoli’s army set to conquer. Roberts will simply ask one question to senior

linebacker and captain Dan Davis. “If I pulled off your face mask, will you die?” Davis will respond, “It would be extremely painful…” Morgan comments, “You’re a big guy.” Davis: “FOR YOU.” Welcome to New Haven’s reckoning. PREDICTION: PENN 49, Yale 43
