Oh, and by the way, Penn is also about maximizing revenue for Penn and minimizing costs to Penn. I was just wondering why my credit card bill for a visit to the Vet School emergency room for my dog was labelled "Educational Expense." Just wondering; maybe Ray can tell me.
sorry, roger, I honestly have no idea what 'educational expense' means here, I've never taken my dog to penn vet. maybe it means that you learned something from your visit? or that whoever treated your dog was a student? :-)
[hope your dog's ok. it's true that much of penn operates -- internally and externally -- on a business model, not as an altruistic charity, and this bang-for-buck awareness extends into non-profit academic and community programs as well. when it comes to transactions with the neighborhood, I believe it's all under the rubric of 'enlightened self-interest' -- and you don't have to work at penn to see examples of it all around us: the penn alexander school, penn's elder care facility, penn's ucd, penn's real estate holdings, penn's mortgage program, etc. etc.]
