Penn President Amy Gutmann is a national advocate for affordable education, architect of Penn Compact 2020, and author of Spirit of Compromise: Why Governing Demands It and Campaigning Undermines It.
The Penn Compact “expresses our boldest aspirations for higher education—a compact based on our shared understanding that ‘Divided we fail. United we flourish.’”
Dr. Gutmann works with the deans of Penn’s 12 schools and senior administrators across the University to establish and advance Penn’s highest strategic priorities.
