The University of Pennsylvania (Penn or UPenn) is a private Ivy League research university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Penn has four undergraduate schools as well as twelve graduate and professional schools. Its Wharton Business School is a mayor deep state milieu on its own.

Penn Biden Center

The Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement at the University of Pennsylvania, officially opened on February 8, 2018, is located in Washington, D.C. and is named for the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden.[1][2][3]

Joe Biden was head of the Penn Biden Center and also became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Biden made more than $900,000 from the University of Pennsylvania between 2017 and 2019 for very little work. Biden confirmed a leave of absence from the University of Pennsylvania in April 2019 when he started his presidential campaign. [4]

University of Pennsylvania professor and vice provost of global initiatives Zeke Emanuel, a key architect of Obamacare when he was in the Obama administration, publicly welcomed Biden to UPenn. Tony Blinken, Joe Biden’s Secretary of State, was the Penn Biden Center’s managing director before he ran the Biden State Department. The Penn Biden Center’s leadership team includes Obama administration alum Caroline Tess, and its business manager is a longtime employee of the University of Pennsylvania. Recent Penn Biden Center officials Ariana Berengaut and Colin Kahl, who pushed pro-vaccine propaganda in the early period of COVID-19[5], have both worked for either Joe Biden or for the Obama-Biden administration and Kahl became Biden’s Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. Michael Carpenter, a Penn Biden Center managing director who pushes hawkish talking points against Russia[6], is now working as ambassador to the OSCE in the Biden administration.[7]

In 2022, University of Pennsylvania president Amy Gutmann was appointed Ambassador to Germany by Biden.[8]

Annenberg Public Policy Center

The Annenberg Public Policy Center, which owns FactCheck.org, is based on the University of Pennsylvania campus in Philadelphia and also in Washington, D.C. and is funded with an endowment from the Annenberg Foundation, which partners with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.[7][9]

FactCheck.org states that “FactCheck.org receives in-kind support from the Annenberg Public Policy Center including some infrastructure costs as well as supervisory, technical, and administrative support from APPC faculty and staff. We do not attempt to assign a dollar value to these in-kind services, which are funded from the APPC’s own resources.”[10] Kathleen Hall Jamieson, the director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center and the co-founder of FactCheck.org, is a University of Pennsylvania professor. FactCheck.org’s director emeritus Brooks Jackson gave birth to FactCheck.org shortly after joining the Annenberg Public Policy Center[11].

The University of Pennsylvania admitted in December 2020 that “The Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines both use licensed University of Pennsylvania technology. The sums received in (the actual terms are confidential) are likely in the billions.[7]
