would it be safe to label Gutmann as a liberal? I have her argument on Multiculturalism in mind, for which she defends 'Deliberative universalism', a set of standards of social justice upon which individuals of a society must rely to deliberate and reach social consensus. Figurecase liberalism as far as I understand it? 212.219.238.156 16:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

It would be safe to label her that as a thinker, I believe. However, in practice she's celebrated the disenfranchisement of the graduate employees who voted to form a union at U Penn, where she's President. (See GET-UP.) So - my guess would be, in theory, a liberal, in practice, something further to the right.

Is this the same Amy Gutmann who co-authored Scalia's book?

Right now, both 1950 and 1949 are listed as her birth year. Anyone know the real year she was born?

She was born in 1949. Not sure where you're getting the 1950 from. Lightwiki 14:42, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

Entire article body was replaced with copied text from her UPenn bio. I've reverted to an earlier version. -- Whpq 20:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Halloween incident

I removed this since this was very minor and not really notable compared to the rest of the bio. Any other thoughts on this? Thanks! --Tom 20:25, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

This is essentially a press release from Penn's PR office. Is there any interest from an expert in including criticisms of her tenure, etc? They're certainly out there. Mrwriter 16:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
