The Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement of the University of Pennsylvania is located in Washington, D.C. and is named for the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden.[1][2][3]
A think tank, the Penn Biden Center is, per its mission statement, "founded on the principle that a democratic, open, secure, tolerant, and interconnected world benefits all Americans."[4][5] The Penn Center engages foreign policy leaders as well as members of the Penn community on issues which are critical to sustaining the principles of American leadership on the global stage into the 21st century.[6]
History
The Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement officially opened on February 8, 2018.[7][8] The Center opened offices in Washington, D.C. The inaugural ceremony was attended by Biden[9] and the president of the University of Pennsylvania, Amy Gutmann. It featured a discussion on global affairs featuring, Biden and veteran NBC News journalist and Penn alumna, Andrea Mitchell. Guests also included former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, former U.S. National Security Advisor Dr. Susan Rice, former U.S. Attorneys General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch and current and former members of Congress.[10] The managing director of the Penn Biden Center is Dr. Michael Carpenter.[11][12]
Discovery of classified documents
On January 9, 2023, CBS News reported that the a set of approximately 10 documents marked classified were found at the the office Biden used at the office when he had been vice president. According to Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, the documents were discovered by Biden's personal attorneys when they were vacating office space on November 2, 2022; on that same day, the White House counsel's office informed the National Archives of this development, and on the next day, the National Archives obtained the documents. Sauber added that the documents had not been "the subject of any previous request or inquiry" by the National Archives at the time of the discovery.[13]
Sources told CBS News that the classified documents were mixed with unclassified materials, and unrelated to nuclear secrets. Upon being notified of the documents, United States Attorney General Merrick Garland assigned John Lausch, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, to review how the documents made it to the Penn Biden Center.[13] This incident has been contrasted with the FBI's seizure of classified documents from Mar-a-lago, the residence of former president Donald Trump.[14]
Biden presidency
Following the victory of Joe Biden in the 2020 United States presidential election, the Center issued the following statement:[15]
The Penn Biden Center will carry on its mission of conducting original research, analysis, and commentary on America’s place in the world and the global forces that impact our national security, democratic institutions, and foreign policy. As a research unit within the University of Pennsylvania, the Penn Biden Center will remain completely independent of the Biden administration, and the analysis and opinions of its staff and affiliated scholars will reflect their personal views alone, and not necessarily those of the University of Pennsylvania. The Penn Biden Center does not accept any contributions or gifts.[15]
