In a joint editorial with the official student publication of Clinton's alma mater, Wellesley College, The Daily Pennsylvanian editorial board wrote that the Republican nominee "failed to dignify the morals of his institution."



"Though Clinton embodies her alma mater’s institutional values, Trump does not. It is clear that Trump has failed to dignify the morals of his institution. Penn’s motto, 'Leges sine moribus vanae,' translates as 'Laws without morals [are] useless.' In evaluating Donald Trump through this context, the Opinion Board cannot say that his actions attest to his morals: He does not embody the spirit of the school," the University of Pennsylvania newspaper wrote.



"Donald Trump has, in the past, brought up his education at the Wharton School to qualify his intelligence and capability; however, overall campus sentiment toward Trump remains negative, and he has been protested both at Penn’s campus and in the wider Penn community," the board argued.



The Daily Pennsylvanian went on to explain how the Democratic nominee embodies the values of Wellesley College through her work with the Children’s Defense Fund and on women's rights.



"While the Wellesley News has endorsed its alumna, Hillary Clinton, The Daily Pennsylvanian Opinion Board can not stand behind Donald Trump as a candidate," the editorial said.

"We at The Daily Pennsylvanian are concerned about the precedent that Donald Trump sets for our fellow peers and how he chooses to leverage his affiliation to Penn to the rest of the world. His divisive policies are not only orthogonal to those of Penn, but to democracy.

"Comparatively, Hillary Clinton, time and time again, has embodied pragmatic leadership and service and, more importantly, the desire and capacity to both listen and respond to the needs of a diverse society."
