Joe Biden decries Legacy Admissions – uses Influence to get Granddaughter into UPenn

Hunter Biden sought his father’s help to get his daughter, Maisy Biden, into the University of Pennsylvania

By Ben Whedon

President Joe Biden decried university legacy admissions practices in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that ended affirmative action, but communications from Hunter Biden’s laptop suggest he may have taken advantage of such practices to benefit his granddaughter.

Text messages and emails recovered from the laptop and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon suggest that first son Hunter Biden, in 2018, sought his father’s help to get his daughter, Maisy Biden, into the University of Pennsylvania, where the then-former vice president served as an honorary professor.

A December 2018 text message from Joe to Hunter indicated he was seeking a meeting with UPenn President Amy Gutmann.

[I’m] “going to try to see Pres GUTMANN tomorrow,” the message reads. A follow up message from Joe indicates that he “had a great talk with Guttman [sic].”

“Maisy still in the game for regular acceptance. But must do well in class this period. It’s real. We should talk about tutors etc starting tomorrow,” he continued.

Hunter later relayed the message to his daughter and highlighted the need for Maisy to improve her grades during her senior year in order for Gutmann to justify her acceptance into the prestigious school.

“You are in the regular pool of applicants and you’re [sic] app will be reviewed along with your grades this year,” he wrote. “Bottom line is that Guttman [sic] made clear that in order for her to explain the 11th grade you had to show improvement in 12th.”

Maisy ultimately secured admission to UPenn, matriculating in 2019 and graduating four years later.

Gutmann, for her part, received President Joe Biden’s nomination to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Germany. She currently serves in the post.
