TWO IVY League institutions are facing demands to an issue an apology for their handling of bones of African American children killed by Philadelphia police in 1985.
The University of Pennsylvania and the University of Princeton are at the forefront of the uproar as children’s remains are used as case studies in an online forensic anthropology course. They are shown on cameras as teaching tools. In the latter university, the bones are used without permission from the dead children’s parents.
