Good morning, Penn.
I'm filling in for Elea today. The dean of Penn's School of Veterinary Medicine was reappointed for a second term through 2030, and the daughter-in-law of Indonesia's president is facing pushback over apparently accepting a scholarship to Penn's School of Social Policy & Practice.
But first, the Wharton Council's standardized club recruitment timeline has been delayed by a week, causing disruption and uncertainty for students and club leaders.

Wharton club application timeline delayed
The applications, which were set to open on Aug. 30 and close on Sept. 13, were delayed by one week, opening on Sept. 6 and closing on Sept. 20. Wharton junior Alyssa Shah, Wharton Council's club recruitment chair, alleged that the delay could be chalked up to miscommunications between several parties, including the Office of Student Affairs. OSA Executive Director Katie Bonner disputed Shah's characterization, telling the DP that "OSA was not informed of Wharton Council’s new application timeline," and as such, did not have the opportunity to provide feedback on it.
