By Penn News Staff

Penn President Amy Gutmann provided her perspective on education reform, innovation, and U.S. students’ achievement in the sciences and math as a member of a Wall Street Journal editorial panel in New York last week.

Gutmann was joined by Christopher Edley, Jr., dean of the University of California-Berkeley Law School and New York City Public Schools Chancellor Joel Klein. The panel was moderated by Wall Street Journal Managing Editor Alan Murray, who called the roundtable "the perfect panel" to discuss the topics at hand.
