Also, Penn Marriage Pact completes its fifth matchmaking cycle.
Monday, November 4
Good morning, Penn.
Almost half of Penn undergraduate students were matched with romantic or platonic pairs through the Penn Marriage Pact, and President Joe Biden and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) visited Pennsylvania ahead of the 2024 election.
But first, the executive committee of the Penn chapter of the American Association of University Professors released a public statement rebuking the University's temporary guidelines regarding on-campus events and demonstrations.
In an Oct. 30 statement, the Executive Committee of Penn’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors released a 2,300-word condemnation of the University's Temporary Guidelines on Campus Events and Demonstrations.
The statement describes the policies, which were implemented by the University in June, as an “attempt by the central administration to strip faculty, staff, and students” of rights “necessary to education and to democracy itself.”
More than 45% of Penn’s undergraduate population filled out the Penn Marriage Pact, which uses a questionnaire and algorithm to pair students with romantic or platonic partners.
President Joe Biden visited a union hall in Northeast Philadelphia, and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) spoke at a “Get Out the Vote” event focused on Latino voters in the final days before the 2024 election.
Areas around Penn's campus have been flooded with signs encouraging civic engagement — and the DP looked into who put up the signs.

1. Biking in Philly can be a contact sport. After all, bike lanes are often rarely protected and cars have little respect for their two-wheeled counterparts. What should be a quick, daily ride to class can very well end in scrapes and bruises. Street features writer Anna O'Neill-Dietel takes a deep dive into the initiatives on the table to improve biker safety in Philadelphia. The new "Get Out of The Bike Lane" legislation in City Hall might just be the gear that gets everything turning for the better.
