The Kentucky Derby-winning thoroughbred was euthanized yesterday morning after the onset of complications relating to his most recent procedure.

At Penn, the disciplinary process isn't always straightforward with multiple steps, varying degrees of sanctions and numerous opportunities for appeals.

By
Women earn well over half of all bachelor's degrees every year, and one researcher is attempting to find out why.
Yesterday afternoon, before an audience of 40 people in the McNeil building, Claudia Buchmann discussed her recent paper - published in the American Sociological Review - in which she analyzes the resources and incentives that have put women in a favorable educational position.

With Penn students in the thick of job hunting, many wonder how to explain one bad semester's GPA or incriminating Facebook.com photos.
Career Services counselor Peggy Curchack held an informational workshop - with the fitting title, "When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade" - yesterday to discuss issues students wish they could avoid during job interviews.
Competitive eating is not for those with light appetites.

Jacob Bevilacqua is looking forward to Spring Fling because he expects to "get a lot of action."
But for this Nursing sophomore, that action has nothing to do with his social life.
