Penn will contribute $100 million to the School District of Philadelphia over the next 10 years, the largest private contribution in the school district’s history. The announcement comes as the University faces widespread criticism from both students and faculty for its refusal to make Payments in Lieu of Taxes, known as PILOTs, to the city of Philadelphia.
