Office of the President of Temple University

[Rep. Elizabeth Fiedler @RepFiedler]

The recent strike & gun violence at @TempleUniv caused subsequent damage to the school’s public image that was hard to watch. I had an opportunity to ask @PrezWingard about what the school is doing to make things right & repair their reputation.

[Temple University President @TempleUnivPres]

I want to thank @GovernorShapiro for his commitment to higher education in Pennsylvania and his support of @TempleUniv throughout this past week.

Our women’s basketball team showed up, fought hard, and made us all proud. What a tremendous season, led by @CoachDianeRich. #GoOwls

[Temple Women’s Basketball @templewbb]

This season did not go as planned, but we want to commend our girls for fighting hard and giving it their all every step of the way. We will get better, that’s a promise🦉

[Temple University President @TempleUnivPres]

Tomorrow we continue conversations with TUGSA, focused on the fairness and progress that have been the building blocks of our historic 80+ negotiations with 11 of Temple's unions over the years. We're working hard to find a resolution because we know that this strike has far-reaching impacts in our community.

[Temple University President @TempleUnivPres]

This past week, we continued negotiations with TUGSA, expanded our partnership with PPD, met with representatives in Harrisburg and convened with student groups like Keep TU Safe and TSG. I want to create a community that students, faculty, staff and alumni are proud of - and part of that involves sharing the work we're putting in to move forward.

Remembering Sergeant Chris Fitzgerald who was on duty at our home games this season

[Temple University President @TempleUnivPres]

Last week, Gov. Shapiro joined us in Philadelphia to honor the legacy of Sgt. Fitzgerald. Yesterday, I visited him in Harrisburg to discuss our community's needs and willingness to collaborate on solutions. This is an ongoing conversation and partnership that I truly appreciate.

[Josh Shapiro @JoshShapiroPA]

To the law enforcement who gathered with us yesterday and lined the streets of our city, we stand with you and we honor your service.

Your fellow Pennsylvanians, Lori, and I join you in mourning Officer Christopher Fitzgerald — and in learning from the example he set for us all.

[Temple University President @TempleUnivPres]

Temple has a responsibility to its community.

Today I shared my conviction to convene partners at all levels as we work toward a solution together.
