“Times of crisis present hard choices that reveal our highest priorities.  Penn must sustain its core teaching and research missions, but our next priority should be to aid our city. Philadelphia’s long under-resourced school system, funded chiefly by property taxes, faces huge challenges in coping with the virus crisis.  It is time for Penn, the city’s wealthiest educational institution, to pay PILOTS.”

—Rogers M. Smith, Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Political Science
