Who's responsibility is it? Have you seen how the government operates? Why wouldn't UPENN want to help solve it?
It is the government's responsibility. Change your government with votes.
OK, but they do exist to educate people, and have a comically large endowment to do it with that only keeps growing. I guess their plan is to grow the endowment until all human beings everywhere can get full ride UPenn scholarships?

How much have you contributed to Philly's woes?
Probably nothing, because it doesn't benefit you.
