"We don't want him to come out and address our account, it's not about us, we want him to come out and address the community and tell us what we need to hear," John Mangan said.

Mangan, a Temple senior, created the Instagram account this semester as a way to alert students and their families about crimes happening in real-time, while pushing for transparency from school leadership.

"We're at a tipping point where everyone is just wondering what the hell is going on," Mangan said. "It's really getting out of hand."

Approximately 100 students marched around Main Campus and participated in an hour-long *teach-in* at the Bell Tower to protest a myriad of issues to the Temple University administration, including its response to recent racist incidents within the student body and its police force.
The march, organized by the newly-formed student group Temple University Coalition for Change, began at Cecil B. Moore Avenue near Broad Street and paused at the Temple University Police Department station on Montgomery Avenue near 11th Street for a moment of silence in honor of victims of police brutality before ending at the Bell Tower.

The teach-in featured speakers from Stadium Stompers, a community group organized to oppose Temple*s planned on-campus stadium; the Institute for the Development of African-American Youth, a local nonprofit; the Party for Socialism and Liberation; and the nonprofit Critical Resistance, whose goal is to *end the Prison Industrial Complex.*

Speakers at the teach-in emphasized the need for Temple to respect the surrounding community and combat discrimination against students on campus.*
*You guys need to stand up and demand a real education. A real one,* said Gail Loney, an organizer with Stadium Stompers. *When y*all come on this campus, y*all need to come to the neighborhood. Y*all need to come and talk to us. They*re not telling you the history of this neighborhood*
Other demands of the Coalition for Change include defunding TUPD, requiring an additional Race and Diversity GenEd for all students, and increasing funding for investigations into and education surrounding sexual harassment and assault.*

After the teach-in, organizers with the Coalition for Change invited students to sign a large board listing their demands and delivered it to President Richard Englert*s office in Sullivan Hall. Temple accepted the petition and will take it under advisement, wrote Ray Betzner, a spokesperson for the university, in an email to The Temple News.

Englert announced yesterday that he is seeking retirement and will leave his post after the Board of Trustees chooses a successor.*
Jack Fletcher, a junior legal studies major and organizer with the Coalition for Change, said they want to use Englert*s retirement as an opportunity to press the university to make choosing the next president a fairer process.

*We want to put together a representative and democratic process that will allow our community, faculty, campus workers, students, everyone to have their say, have a vote, and hopefully have a president who can represent this community instead of just the Board of Trustees,* Fletcher said.
Teresa Swartley, a senior political science major and organizer with the Coalition for Change, said the organization will continue to hold protests during the academic year until their demands are met.*

*We*re starting to build traction this summer, really just focusing on base building, but as the school year returns, we do plan to just continue this and step up,* Swartley said.

It sounds like some chickens coming home to roost.

Incident involving Temple students
Posted Dec 9, 2022
Dear students,

Last night, at approximately 10:15 p.m., our dispatchers in the Temple University Police Communication Center received a report from the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) of a reported robbery in the 1800 block of North Willington St. It has since been confirmed that two Temple students were robbed at gunpoint while walking on that block.

The most important thing is that no student was injured during the incident. The PPD is investigating with the assistance of the Temple University Police Department. We are grateful that the victims followed many of the safety tips that our office regularly encourages and immediately gave up their wallets in this instance. Our students’ personal safety and well-being are far more important than any possession.

The Office of the Dean of Students has contacted the affected students to ensure they have access to counseling and other trauma-informed resources. We also know that crimes like this affect other Temple community members and encourage anyone in need of support to contact Tuttleman Counseling Services.

We urge all members of the Temple community to contact Temple Police at 215-204-1234 if they have any details on this crime or need more information regarding the university’s available safety resources.

Best regards,

Jennifer D. Griffin
Vice President of Public Safety at Temple University

Yeah, sent that to my daughter who used to live on that same block which is just off campus and runs next to Broad between Norris and Diamond. Not sure, might even be the same house, Anyway, also not sure how well that will work out. She said that it's a "party block" so guessing his presence won't be too welcome there.

To Hell with the rowhome,he should move his family into this nearby abode.
